Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working in the Costa del Sol Occidental comarca, I understand that installing a swimming pool in Mijas Costa is more than a luxury; it is a necessity for enjoying our Mediterranean lifestyle. Whether you reside in the bustling area of Las Lagunas, the serene hills of Calahonda, or the seaside charm of La Cala de Mijas, our team is dedicated to transforming your garden. Mijas has a diverse population of approximately 49,000 residents, many of whom are expats like you seeking quality outdoor solutions. We specialize in materials that withstand the unique coastal area challenges, particularly the high salt exposure and humidity found in Riviera del Sol and El Faro, which can corrode standard finishes. We focus on durability and aesthetics to ensure your investment lasts. Regarding investment, in Mijas Costa a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, excavation requirements, and chosen finishes. My goal is to guide you through every technical and aesthetic decision to create your perfect oasis.

Regulations and Permits in Mijas Costa

Navigating the legal landscape for outdoor projects in Andalusia requires local expertise. All our installations, particularly shading structures and enclosures, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard for performance and safety. Furthermore, 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 Costa, the permit process depends on the scope of work. Most renovations or surface-level pool installations are classified as "Obra Menor" (Minor Works), which involves a simplified notification to the Mijas Town Hall. However, for new builds or significant structural changes, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" is required, necessitating a technical project signed by an architect. It is crucial to note that properties located within the first few hundred meters of the shoreline may also require specific clearance from the "Delegación de Costas" (Coastal Authority) to ensure compliance with national protection laws. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project stays within the law.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Mijas Costa?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation accounts for the size of the basin, the type of filtration system—such as salt chlorination which is very popular here—and the difficulty of excavation in hilly areas like Calahonda versus the flatter terrain of Las Lagunas.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, all swimming pool constructions in Mijas require a municipal permit. For a standard pool, you will typically need an 'Obra Mayor' license because it involves structural excavation and a technical project. We can assist in coordinating with local architects to ensure your application meets the Mijas PGOU requirements.
How long does it take?
A standard installation usually takes between 4 to 8 weeks once the permits are granted. The timeline depends heavily on the soil type; for instance, rocky ground in the upper parts of Mijas Costa may require more time for excavation than the sandy soils closer to the beach.
Do you cover Mijas Costa?
Absolutely. We provide full coverage across the entire Mijas Costa area, including La Cala de Mijas, Riviera del Sol, Calahonda, El Faro, and Las Lagunas. Our team is frequently in these urbanisations, so we are very familiar with the specific community rules and access restrictions.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive 10-year structural warranty on the pool shell and a 2-year warranty on the filtration equipment and pumps. Our materials are specifically chosen to resist the high UV radiation and salt air typical of the Costa del Sol Occidental.
Can you install salt-water systems?
Yes, salt-water chlorination is our most requested feature in Mijas Costa. It is much gentler on the skin and eyes compared to traditional chlorine and is highly efficient in our warm climate, making maintenance much easier for year-round residents and holiday home owners alike.
Is it possible to build on a sloped plot?
Yes, many properties in Mijas, especially in the hillside urbanisations, are sloped. We specialize in reinforced concrete structures and infinity edges that turn a challenging slope into a stunning architectural feature, ensuring the foundation is perfectly stable according to local building codes.
