Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install or renovate a swimming pool in Montemar, you have come to the right place. This exclusive residential pocket of Torremolinos, nestled within the Costa del Sol Occidental, is one of my favourite areas to work in. Whether you live in the leafy streets of Montemar Alto near the Parque de la Batería or closer to the coastal vibe of Montemar Bajo near La Carihuela, we understand the specific challenges of this terrain. With a local population of around 7,500 residents, Montemar offers a unique Mediterranean microclimate, but being a coastal area with significant salt exposure, material choice is everything to ensure longevity. We specialise in high-quality finishes that withstand the marine breeze. Regarding costs, in Montemar a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and technical complexity. From the modern villas near El Pinillo to the classic estates of the lower hills, we provide tailored solutions that respect the local architecture while adding significant value to your property.

How we work

1. Initial Contact

We start with a detailed conversation to understand your vision, your budget, and the specific characteristics of your plot in Montemar.

2. Site Visit & Measuring

I will personally visit your property to assess the terrain, check for underground utilities, and take precise measurements for the design phase.

3. Free Quote

You will receive a comprehensive, transparent proposal with no hidden costs, detailing every material and the projected timeline for your project.

4. Professional Installation

Our expert team carries out the work with minimal disruption, ensuring the highest standards of safety and cleanliness until the final hand-over.

Regulations and Permits in Montemar

Navigating the legal landscape is a crucial part of our service. In Montemar, all outdoor installations and swimming pool constructions are governed by the Torremolinos PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the broader Andalusian legislation known as LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). Depending on the scale of the project, you may require either an 'Obra Menor' (minor works) notification or a full 'Licencia de Obra' (building licence).

Because Montemar is an established and prestigious residential zone, the local Town Hall applies strict aesthetic controls to ensure that new constructions do not clash with the urban fabric. Furthermore, for any supplementary structures like pergolas or motorised awnings often installed alongside pools, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates performance and safety requirements. We handle the technical documentation and liaison with the municipal technicians to ensure your project is 100% compliant, avoiding any future fines or legal headaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a swimming pool cost in Montemar?
The price generally ranges from 8,000 € to 25,000 €. This variation depends on whether you are opting for a prefabricated polyester shell, a reinforced PVC liner, or a traditional tiled concrete pool. Factors such as the slope of your garden in Montemar Alto or the ease of access for heavy machinery significantly influence the final labour costs. We provide a detailed breakdown so you know exactly where your investment is going.
Do I need a licence for a swimming pool in Montemar?
Yes, you absolutely need a municipal permit. For a new build, a full building licence (Licencia de Obra) is required, which involves a technical project signed by an architect or engineer. For smaller renovations or repairs, a 'Declaración Responsable' or 'Obra Menor' might suffice. As part of our service, we guide you through the Torremolinos Town Hall requirements to ensure everything is legal before we break ground.
How long does the installation take?
A standard swimming pool installation usually takes between 3 to 6 weeks once the permits are granted. Prefabricated pools are much faster, often completed within 10 days, whereas bespoke tiled pools with complex filtration systems or salt chlorinators take longer due to the curing times of the materials. We always provide a realistic schedule to ensure you can enjoy your pool by the start of the summer season.
Do you cover all areas of Montemar?
Yes, we cover the entirety of Montemar, including Montemar Alto, Montemar Bajo, and the surrounding sectors bordering El Pinillo and La Carihuela. We are very familiar with the local streets and the logistical requirements of moving equipment through the more residential, narrow avenues of this area. No matter where your villa or apartment complex is located, our team can reach you.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers both the structural integrity of the pool and the equipment installed. Typically, this includes a 10-year warranty on the watertightness of the vessel and a 2-year warranty on filtration pumps, LED lighting, and salt electrolysis systems. We only use reputable brands that have a strong technical support presence here on the Costa del Sol.
Can you install salt water systems instead of chlorine?
Absolutely. In fact, we highly recommend salt water chlorination for residents in Montemar. It is much gentler on the skin and eyes, which is a major plus for families. Given the proximity to the sea, salt systems are very popular here. We can also integrate automated pH regulators to ensure your water chemistry remains perfect with minimal effort on your part.
Is it possible to build a pool on a sloped plot?
Many properties in the upper parts of Montemar are situated on significant slopes. This is not a problem for us; it simply requires a different engineering approach, such as reinforced retaining walls or an "infinity" edge design which looks spectacular overlooking the Mediterranean. During our site visit, we will assess the soil stability and recommend the most secure and aesthetic structural solution for your specific terrain.
