Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. With years of experience across the Costa del Sol Occidental, I have seen how a well-designed outdoor space transforms a villa into a true sanctuary. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Las Chapas, you have come to the right place. This beautiful district of Marbella, home to roughly 12,000 residents, presents unique environmental challenges that we know how to navigate. From the pine-shaded plots of Hacienda Las Chapas and Las Lomas de Las Chapas to the sun-drenched terraces of Artola Alta and Reserva de Marbella, every project requires a tailored approach. Living in a coastal area means dealing with high salt exposure and specific soil types found near Maro Besaya. We specialise in materials that withstand the Mediterranean humidity while maintaining their aesthetic appeal. Transparency is key to our work; for instance, in Las Chapas a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the scale and specifications of your dream project. My goal is to ensure your installation is seamless, durable, and perfectly integrated into the local landscape.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact: Reach out via our form or phone to discuss your vision, and we will provide a preliminary consultation to understand your specific needs in the Marbella area.
  2. Site Visit & Measuring: I will personally visit your property in Las Chapas to take precise measurements, assess the terrain, and evaluate sun orientation and salt exposure factors.
  3. Free Quote: Within a few days, you will receive a detailed, transparent proposal with no hidden costs, outlining the best materials and technologies for your outdoor space.
  4. Professional Installation: Our expert local team carries out the work with minimal disruption, ensuring every detail meets our high standards before the final handover and testing.

Regulations and Permits in Las Chapas

Navigating the legal framework is a critical step for any outdoor project in Marbella. All our installations comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which governs the safety and performance requirements for external blinds and awnings, ensuring your structures are wind-resistant and durable. Regarding the construction of swimming pools and permanent structures, we operate strictly under the Marbella PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the current Andalusian legislative framework known as LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía).

For most swimming pool projects in Las Chapas, you will require a municipal permit. Smaller renovations or aesthetic updates may fall under a "Declaración Responsable" or "Obra Menor" (minor works license), which allows for a faster start. However, new pool builds typically require a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" (major works license), involving a technical project signed by an architect and approved by the Marbella Town Hall (Ayuntamiento). This process ensures that the building density, setbacks from boundaries, and water drainage systems meet local environmental and urban planning codes. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project is fully compliant and protected from future administrative issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Las Chapas?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on the size of the basin, the type of filtration system (such as salt chlorination), the choice of tiling or liner, and the complexity of the excavation in the specific terrain of the Costa del Sol Occidental.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, all swimming pool constructions in the Marbella municipality require a permit. Depending on the scope, it could be a minor works notification or a full building license. We assist in navigating the Marbella PGOU requirements to ensure your pool is 100% legal.
How long does it take?
A standard installation usually takes between 4 to 8 weeks once the permits are granted. The timeline can be influenced by the time of year, the accessibility of your plot in areas like Hacienda Las Chapas, and the specific finishes you choose.
Do you cover Las Chapas?
Absolutely. We cover the entire Las Chapas district, including Maro Besaya, Artola Alta, Reserva de Marbella, and the surrounding urbanisations. Being local allows us to respond quickly and understand the specific microclimate and soil conditions of the area.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool shell and the mechanical components of the filtration system. Typically, this includes a 10-year watertightness warranty and standard manufacturer warranties on all pumps and heaters.
Can you install salt-water systems to handle the coastal air?
Yes, we highly recommend salt chlorination for properties in Las Chapas. It is gentler on the skin and eyes, and the systems we install are specifically designed to be resilient against the high salt exposure and humidity common in coastal Malaga.
Is it possible to build on a sloped plot in Las Lomas de Las Chapas?
Yes, many of our projects involve sloped terrain. We specialise in reinforced retaining walls and infinity edge designs that turn a challenging topography into a stunning architectural feature, making the most of the Mediterranean views.
