Swimming Pools in Marbesa

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working in the Costa del Sol Occidental comarca, I have seen how a private oasis can transform a home. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Marbesa, you are in the right place. This charming residential pocket, home to roughly 1,200 residents, is one of the most tranquil gems in the Marbella East area. We frequently work across the neighbouring urbanisations of Carib Playa, Artola Baja, and Las Chapas Playa, where the lifestyle revolves around the Mediterranean breeze. However, being a coastal area, your outdoor installations face constant salt exposure and humidity, which requires specific materials and expert knowledge of the local terrain. Whether you are near the beachfront or closer to Hacienda Las Chapas, we ensure your pool is built to last. Regarding investment, in Marbesa a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, finishes, and technical complexity of the plot. My goal is to guide you through every step, ensuring your project blends perfectly with the unique coastal aesthetic of our region.

How we work

The journey begins when you reach out to us via our website or phone; we discuss your vision for your Marbesa property and identify your specific needs for a new pool or renovation.

Site visit and measuring

I will personally visit your villa to assess the plot, check for salt-spray exposure levels, and take precise measurements to ensure the design fits perfectly within your garden layout.

Regulations, Permits, and Compliance in Marbesa

Navigating the legal landscape for a swimming pool in Marbesa requires a clear understanding of both local and regional frameworks. As Marbesa falls under the jurisdiction of the Marbella Town Hall (Ayuntamiento de Marbella), all projects must strictly adhere to the Marbella PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). Furthermore, any new construction in the region is now governed by the Andalusian Law for the Sustainability of the Territory (LISTA), which has streamlined some processes but intensified the focus on environmental integration.

For most pool projects, you will need to apply for a building permit. A "Declaración Responsable" or "Obra Menor" may suffice for minor repairs or aesthetic liners, but a full "Obra Mayor" licence is typically required for new excavations. This process involves submitting a technical project signed by an architect. Because Marbesa is a coastal urbanisation, we must pay close attention to the "Ley de Costas" (Coastal Law) and specific setback zones; building permits require strict compliance with coastal setback zones to ensure no structures infringe on protected maritime-terrestrial public domains.

Additionally, for any peripheral installations like pool covers or pergolas, we comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard for solar protection and safety. The municipal ordinance also dictates water usage regulations, especially during drought periods, which may affect when you can fill your pool. At TuExterior, we handle the technical documentation to ensure your project is 100% legal and avoids the heavy fines associated with unauthorised construction in the Malaga province.
