Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working here in the Costa del Sol Occidental, I understand that installing a swimming pool in Los Boliches is about more than just luxury; it is about creating a private oasis in one of Fuengirola’s most vibrant districts. Whether you are located in the traditional streets near the Playa de los Boliches or in the newer developments toward the Los Pacos border, the challenge is always the same: maximizing limited space in a high-density coastal area. With a local population of approximately 18,000 residents, Los Boliches balances a bustling atmosphere with a desire for backyard privacy. One critical factor we always address is the high salt exposure from the Mediterranean, which requires specific marine-grade materials to prevent corrosion of pumps and ladders. In Los Boliches a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on whether you opt for a sleek glass-fiber shell or a bespoke tiled finish. From the quiet residential pockets like Las Chozas to the busier San Francisco area, we specialize in delivering durable, beautiful aquatic spaces tailored to the unique Fuengirola climate.

Regulations and Permits in Los Boliches

Navigating the legal landscape for a swimming pool in Los Boliches requires strict adherence to both regional and municipal frameworks. As Los Boliches falls under the jurisdiction of the Fuengirola Town Hall (Ayuntamiento), all projects must comply with the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU) of Fuengirola. This document dictates the "edificabilidad" (buildability) of your plot and the required setbacks from your neighbor's walls.

For most installations, we must process an "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) permit if the pool is prefabricated and requires minimal structural changes. However, for larger concrete builds or those requiring significant excavation, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" is mandatory, requiring a project signed by a registered architect. Furthermore, because Los Boliches is a coastal district, properties located on the frontline are subject to the "Ley de Costas" (Coastal Law). This national regulation can impose strict limitations on permanent structures within the protection zone.

Additionally, we ensure that any accessory installations, such as retractable pool covers or sunshades, comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard for wind resistance and safety. Our team handles the technical documentation to ensure your pool is fully legalized, avoiding the heavy fines that Fuengirola inspectors can levy for unauthorized constructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Los Boliches?
The investment typically ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends heavily on the access to your backyard—since many Los Boliches homes are in narrow streets, we may need specialized cranes—and the choice between a pre-cast polyester shell or a custom-built "obra" pool with "gresite" tiling.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, absolutely. You cannot legally build a pool in Fuengirola without at least a "Declaración Responsable" or an "Obra Menor" permit. Building without a license in a high-density area like Los Boliches is risky, as the local council uses aerial imaging to spot illegal constructions. We manage the entire application process for you.
How long does it take?
A standard installation usually takes between 2 to 4 weeks once the permits are granted. Prefabricated shells are much faster, often ready for water within 10 days, whereas reinforced concrete pools require curing time for the structure and the waterproof lining.
Do you cover Los Boliches?
Yes, we cover the entire Los Boliches area, from the beachfront apartments to the residential villas near the Arroyo Real and the borders of Los Pacos. We are very familiar with the local soil types and the logistical challenges of the neighborhood's urban layout.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive 10-year structural warranty on the pool shell or basin. Additionally, all filtration systems, pumps, and salt chlorinators come with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide a 1-year guarantee on our labor and installation integrity.
Can you install a pool in a small patio?
Many of our projects in the San Francisco and Las Chozas areas involve "plunge pools" or "cocktail pools." These are smaller, deeper pools designed specifically for the compact outdoor spaces typical of Los Boliches townhouses, allowing you to cool off without needing a massive garden.
How do you handle the salt air corrosion?
Living so close to the Playa de los Boliches means the air is highly corrosive. We exclusively use AISI-316 stainless steel for all metal components like ladders and handrails. We also recommend salt-water chlorination systems, which are more skin-friendly and easier to maintain in our specific Mediterranean climate.
