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.

How we work

  1. Initial Contact: Reach out via our web form or phone to discuss your vision, location in Mijas, and specific site requirements.
  2. Site Visit & Measuring: I will personally visit your property in Mijas Pueblo to assess the terrain, access points for machinery, and take precise measurements.
  3. Free Quote: You will receive a detailed, transparent proposal tailored to the unique geological conditions of the Mijas hillside with no hidden costs.
  4. Professional Installation: Our expert team executes the project, managing everything from excavation to the final tile, ensuring full compliance with local safety standards.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Mijas Pueblo?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation accounts for the difficulty of access in the narrow streets of the Pueblo or the specialized retaining walls often needed for sloped plots in La Alquería and Valtocado.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal licence from the Mijas Ayuntamiento. Depending on the scale and location, this might be a Licencia de Obra Mayor. Building without one in Mijas can lead to significant fines and legal orders to restore the land to its original state.
How long does it take?
A standard pool installation usually takes between 4 to 8 weeks once the permits are granted. However, the administrative process for permit approval in Mijas can take several months, so we recommend starting the planning phase well before the summer heat arrives.
Do you cover Mijas Pueblo?
Yes, we cover the entire Mijas Pueblo area, including the historic centre and all surrounding urbanisations such as Buenavista, Peña Blanquilla, and the rustic zones toward Alhaurín. We are very familiar with the specific logistical challenges of the local terrain.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers the structural integrity of the pool shell for 10 years, along with standard manufacturer warranties on pumps, filtration systems, and any automated covers or heating systems installed.
Can you build on a steep slope in Mijas?
Yes, this is our specialty. Many properties in Mijas Pueblo are built on significant inclines. We use reinforced concrete structures and, if necessary, micro-piling to ensure the pool is perfectly stable and safe despite the mountainous geography of the Costa del Sol Occidental.
What maintenance is required for the inland climate?
Mijas Pueblo experiences high evaporation rates and dust from the mountains. I recommend installing an automated salt-chlorination system and a high-quality pool cover to maintain water levels and cleanliness, reducing the need for constant chemical adjustments.
