Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator here at TuExterior. If you are looking to install or renovate a swimming pool in La Cala de Mijas, you have come to the right place. Living in the Costa del Sol Occidental, specifically in this charming corner of Mijas with its population of around 44,000 residents, we understand that a pool isn't just a luxury—it is a lifestyle necessity. Whether you are settled in the modern apartments of Jardinana, the established villas of Torrenueva, or the golf-front properties of Calanova Golf and La Cala Hills, the Mediterranean climate demands a private oasis. However, being a coastal area, we must account for high salt exposure and humidity which can affect equipment and finishes. In La Cala de Mijas a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the specifications and terrain. From the historic charm near Butibamba to the uphill slopes of the Sierra, my team and I ensure your project integrates perfectly with the local landscape and climate conditions.

Regulations and Permits in Mijas

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of building a swimming pool in La Cala de Mijas. All our installations, particularly those involving shade structures or enclosures, adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard for safety and quality. Locally, every project must comply with the Mijas PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the regional legislation known as LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía).

In Mijas, the type of permit required depends on the scope of work. A simple renovation or aesthetic update might fall under a 'Comunicación Previa' or 'Obra Menor', whereas a completely new excavation requires a full 'Licencia de Obra'. Because La Cala is a coastal area, we must be particularly careful with 'Costas' regulations; strict coastal protection setbacks apply near the shoreline to protect the maritime-terrestrial zone. We handle the technical documentation required by the Mijas Town Hall to ensure your pool is 100% legal and avoids future administrative fines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in La Cala de Mijas?
The price generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on factors such as the size of the vessel, the type of filtration system (chlorine vs. salt electrolysis), the difficulty of the terrain in areas like Calanova Golf, and the chosen finishes. This estimate includes high-quality local labour and standard materials.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, any structural work or excavation in Mijas requires a municipal permit. For a new pool, you will need a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor' which requires a project signed by an architect. If you are simply relining or repairing an existing pool, a 'Declaración Responsable' for minor works might suffice. We assist in managing these applications at the Mijas Ayuntamiento.
How long does it take?
A standard pool installation usually takes between 4 to 8 weeks once the permits are granted. The timeline can vary based on weather conditions, the complexity of the excavation (especially if we encounter rock in the Mijas hills), and the drying times for concrete and waterproofing layers.
Do you cover La Cala de Mijas?
Absolutely. We operate across the entire Mijas municipality, from the beachfront of La Cala and Butibamba to the inland urbanisations like La Cala Hills, Riviera del Sol, and Calahonda. Our local presence allows us to respond quickly to site visits and maintenance needs.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive warranty on our work. Typically, this includes a 10-year structural warranty against leaks or cracks in the pool shell and a 2-year warranty on the filtration pumps, heaters, and salt chlorinators, following the manufacturer’s guidelines and Spanish consumer law.
Can you install salt water systems for coastal properties?
Yes, salt water electrolysis is highly recommended for La Cala de Mijas. It is gentler on the skin and eyes, and since we are already in a salt-rich coastal environment, these systems are very efficient. We use high-grade titanium cells that are designed to withstand the local humidity and salinity.
How do you handle the salt exposure in La Cala?
Being near the sea means we must use marine-grade stainless steel (AISI 316) for ladders and railings to prevent corrosion. We also recommend specific stone or tile treatments that are resistant to the salt air typical of the Costa del Sol Occidental, ensuring your pool area looks pristine for years.
