Swimming Pools in Mijas Pueblo

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working in the Costa del Sol Occidental comarca, I understand that building a swimming pool in Mijas Pueblo is about more than just luxury; it is about creating a private oasis in one of Andalusia’s most iconic white villages. Whether you reside in the historic centre with its population of approximately 6,000 residents or in the surrounding hillside urbanisations like Valtocado, La Alquería, or Buenavista, the inland climate here demands a reliable cooling solution. The summers in the Pueblo are notably warmer than the coastal strip, making a private dip essential. We specialise in navigating the unique topography of areas like Peña Blanquilla, where steep slopes require expert engineering. Regarding investment, in Mijas Pueblo a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the site access and chosen finishes. My goal is to ensure your project respects the traditional aesthetic of Mijas while providing modern durability and comfort for your family.

Regulations and Permits in Mijas Pueblo

Navigating the legal landscape in Mijas is critical to avoid fines or project halts. All our installations, particularly those involving sun protection or pergolas, adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, ensuring wind resistance and structural safety. For the construction of a swimming pool, we must strictly follow the Mijas PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). In the heart of the village, projects are often subject to the PEPRI (Plan Especial de Protección y Reforma Interior), which mandates that any new structure preserves the historic white-washed aesthetic and cultural heritage of the town.

Furthermore, for properties bordering the countryside or located in urbanisations like Valtocado, we must comply with Andalusia's LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). This regulation governs land use in rustic-adjacent zones to prevent environmental impact. Regarding permits, a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" is typically required for new pool excavations due to the structural nature of the work and the specific soil stability requirements of the Sierra de Mijas. We handle the technical project submission to the Mijas Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) to ensure your "Declaración Responsable" or full license is processed correctly before a single stone is moved.
