Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. Living and working across the Costa del Sol Occidental, I have seen how a private swimming pool in Riviera del Sol transforms a house into a sanctuary. Riviera del Sol is a unique enclave within Mijas, home to roughly 6,500 residents who enjoy a blend of coastal proximity and hillside views. Whether your property is nestled in the established streets of Miraflores, the elevated plots of Riviera del Sol Alta, or modern complexes like Lomas de Riviera, Altos de Riviera, and Riviera Park, the challenges remain consistent. Our local climate is beautiful but demanding; being a coastal area, your outdoor installations face constant salt exposure and high UV radiation, which requires specific materials and expert knowledge of local terrain. We specialise in navigating these conditions to ensure your investment lasts for decades. To give you a baseline for your project, in Riviera del Sol a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the slope of your plot and the chosen finishes. My goal is to guide you through every technical and aesthetic decision to create a space that complements the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Regulations and Permits in Riviera del Sol

Navigating the legal landscape is the most critical part of any construction project in Mijas. All our installations, particularly those involving shading or enclosures, strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard for performance and safety. Beyond technical standards, every project must comply with the Mijas PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the overarching regional regulations established by Andalusia’s LISTA (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía).

In Riviera del Sol, the permit process generally falls into two categories. An 'Obra Menor' (Minor Work) permit is often sufficient for aesthetic renovations or simple repairs. However, building a new swimming pool or making significant structural changes requires a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor'. This involves a formal project signed by an architect and approved by the Mijas Town Hall. It is particularly important to note that Riviera del Sol is characterised by its sloped topography. The PGOU sets strict building height limits and setback requirements for sloped plots to protect the views and privacy of neighbouring properties in urbanisations like Lomas de Riviera. We handle the technical documentation to ensure your project respects these boundaries and passes all municipal inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Riviera del Sol?
As mentioned, prices generally range from 8,000 € to 25,000 €. The final cost depends heavily on the excavation requirements—especially on the sloped terrain common in Riviera del Sol Alta—and the choice of filtration systems and tiling. High-end finishes or salt-water chlorination systems will sit at the higher end of this bracket.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, any significant modification or new pool construction in Mijas requires a municipal licence. For a new pool, you will need a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor'. We assist in the preparation of the necessary technical projects to ensure the Mijas Town Hall approves your application without unnecessary delays.
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 the licence at the Mijas Town Hall can take several months. We recommend starting the planning phase in autumn or winter to have your pool ready for the summer season.
Do you cover Riviera del Sol?
Absolutely. We operate across the entire Riviera del Sol area, from the beachfront sections near Max Beach up to the highest points of Altos de Riviera. Our team is frequently in the area and is very familiar with the specific soil types and access challenges of the local urbanisations.
What warranty do you provide?
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers the structural integrity of the pool shell for 10 years, alongside standard manufacturer warranties on pumps, filters, and lighting. Our commitment is to use materials that withstand the high salt air levels of the Costa del Sol Occidental.
Can you build on a sloped plot in Lomas de Riviera?
Yes, we specialise in hillside constructions. Many properties in Lomas de Riviera and Miraflores are built on significant inclines. This requires reinforced retaining walls and specific engineering to ensure the pool is stable and complies with the Mijas PGOU regarding height limits on sloped land.
What is the best filtration system for this area?
Given the high temperatures in Málaga, we often recommend salt-water chlorination. It is gentler on the skin and eyes, easier to maintain during the hot summer months, and highly efficient. It is a popular choice for residents in Riviera Park who want a low-maintenance, premium swimming experience.
