Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working within the Costa del Sol Occidental has taught me that a home here is never truly complete without a dedicated space for cooling off. If you are looking to install a high-quality swimming pool in Los Arqueros, you have come to the right place. This exclusive enclave, nestled within the Benahavís municipality, serves a discerning population of approximately 1,200 residents who value both privacy and the rugged beauty of the inland terrain. Whether your property is located in the established Los Pinos, the elevated Los Robles, or the charming Las Jacarandas and La Torre sectors, the inland climate here demands a robust solution for the scorching summer months. At TuExterior, we understand the specific geological challenges of the Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club area, where sloped plots require expert engineering. Regarding investment, in Los Arqueros a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and chosen finishes. My goal is to ensure your project blends seamlessly with the Mediterranean landscape while providing a private oasis for your family.

Regulations and Permits in Benahavís

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of my job as your coordinator. In Los Arqueros, all exterior modifications are governed by the Benahavís PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the broader regional framework provided by Andalusia's LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). Because Los Arqueros is a prestigious, master-planned community, there are strict aesthetic controls to maintain the architectural harmony of the urbanisation.

For a swimming pool, the process typically involves applying for a "Licencia de Obra," which varies between "Obra Menor" for simple refurbishments or "Obra Mayor" for new structural builds that require a technical project signed by an architect. Additionally, if you are adding pergolas or retractable covers alongside your pool, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety of external blinds and awnings. It is also vital to respect the "retranqueos" (setback distances) from your neighbour's boundaries, a common point of inspection by the Benahavís Town Hall. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project remains fully compliant with local bylaws, avoiding any potential fines or legal complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Los Arqueros?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends heavily on the type of pool—whether it is a prefabricated glass-fibre shell or a bespoke reinforced concrete structure—and the complexity of the excavation. In areas like Los Robles or La Torre, the rocky terrain or steep inclines can sometimes require additional structural reinforcement or specialized machinery, which influences the final price for local labour and materials.
Do I need a licence for a swimming pool in Los Arqueros?
Yes, absolutely. Building a pool is considered a significant modification to your property and requires a permit from the Benahavís Town Hall. Depending on the scale, you may need a "Licencia de Obra Mayor," which involves a project drafted by a registered architect and approved by the Colegio de Arquitectos. We assist in navigating these administrative hurdles to ensure your pool is 100% legal under the current PGOU and LISTA regulations.
How long does the installation process take?
For a standard installation in Los Arqueros, the physical work usually takes between 3 to 6 weeks once the permits are granted. Prefabricated models are much faster to install, often completed in under 10 days of active work. However, the administrative phase for permit approval in Benahavís can take several months, so we always recommend starting the planning process well before the summer season begins.
Do you cover all areas of Los Arqueros?
Yes, we provide full service across the entire Los Arqueros Golf & Country Club estate. This includes the older, established villas in Los Pinos, the modern apartments in Las Jacarandas, and the elevated plots in Los Robles and El Alto. We are very familiar with the specific access routes and community rules of each sub-urbanisation, which allows us to manage logistics efficiently without bothering your neighbours.
What warranty do you provide on the installation?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool and the equipment used. Typically, the watertightness of the shell is guaranteed for 10 years, while the filtration systems, pumps, and salt chlorinators carry the standard manufacturer's warranty of 2 to 3 years. At TuExterior, we pride ourselves on our after-sales service, ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly by our local team.
Can you install heating systems for year-round use?
Given the inland climate of Los Arqueros, which can be slightly cooler than the beachfront in winter, many of our clients opt for heat pumps or solar heating. We can integrate these systems during the initial installation or as a retrofit. This allows you to extend the swimming season from March through to November, making the most of your investment in the Costa del Sol Occidental.
What maintenance services do you offer for Los Arqueros residents?
While we focus on the design and installation, we provide a full "handover" training session where we teach you how to manage the chemical balance and filtration. For those who prefer a hands-off approach, we can recommend trusted local maintenance partners who visit Los Arqueros weekly to ensure your pool remains in pristine condition throughout the year.
