Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a high-quality swimming pool in Selwo, you have come to the right place. Living in the Costa del Sol Occidental means enjoying an incredible climate, but it also means dealing with specific environmental factors like high salt exposure from the Mediterranean. Whether you reside in established communities like Selwo Hills and La Resina Golf, or newer developments such as Ocean Hills, Lomas de Retamar, and Vanian Gardens, we understand the unique terrain of this area. With a local population of approximately 3,500 residents, Selwo offers a tranquil lifestyle that is perfectly complemented by a private aquatic retreat. At TuExterior, we specialise in durable materials that withstand the coastal air. To give you a realistic starting point, in Selwo a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on dimensions and finishes. We pride ourselves on being honest, local partners who know every corner of Estepona’s eastern hills, ensuring your investment enhances both your lifestyle and your property value.

How we work

Step 1: Initial Contact Reach out via our form or phone to share your vision; we will discuss your specific plot in Selwo and your desired pool style.

Step 2: Site Visit & Measuring I will personally visit your property in areas like La Resina or Selwo Hills to assess ground stability, access, and sunlight orientation for precise planning.

Step 3: Free Detailed Quote We provide a transparent, itemised proposal including excavation, high-grade materials, and filtration systems with no hidden costs or surprises.

Step 4: Professional Installation Our expert team executes the build under my direct supervision, ensuring the highest standards of safety and aesthetic finish before the final handover.

Regulations and Permits in Selwo

Navigating the legal requirements for a swimming pool in Selwo requires a clear understanding of both regional and local frameworks. As Selwo falls under the jurisdiction of Estepona Town Hall, all projects must strictly adhere to the Estepona PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the newer LISTA regulations (Ley de Impulso para la Sostenibilidad del Territorio de Andalucía). These laws are particularly strict regarding building density controls near the protected green zones and the safari park surroundings that define our local landscape.

For most residential pools, you will need to apply for an 'Obra Mayor' licence if the project involves structural excavation, though smaller refurbishments might fall under 'Declaración Responsable'. Furthermore, for any accompanying shade structures or pool houses, we ensure compliance with the UNE-EN 13561 standard for outdoor technical systems. Because many urbanisations in Selwo, such as Vanian or Ocean Hills, have specific community bylaws regarding aesthetics and water drainage, we also coordinate with your Community of Owners to ensure the project meets all local aesthetic and technical criteria before breaking ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Selwo?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on the type of shell—whether reinforced concrete (gunite) or prefabricated polyester—the complexity of the excavation in the hilly terrain of Selwo, and the choice of tiling and filtration systems. High-end finishes like infinity edges or heat pumps for year-round use will move the price toward the higher end of that spectrum.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, installing a swimming pool in Selwo is considered a significant modification to the property. You must obtain a building permit from Estepona Town Hall. This process requires a technical project signed by an architect or engineer. We handle the preparation of all necessary technical documentation to ensure your pool is fully legal and registered in the Land Registry (Catastro).
How long does it take?
From the moment the physical work begins, a standard concrete pool usually takes between 3 to 5 weeks to complete. However, the administrative phase for permit approval in Estepona can take several months. We recommend starting the planning process in the autumn or winter so your pool is ready for the first heatwaves of the Costa del Sol spring.
Do you cover Selwo?
Absolutely. We are highly active in the Selwo area, including La Resina Golf, Selwo Hills, and the new developments near the Agrojardín area. Our proximity allows us to manage logistics efficiently and provide rapid after-sales support to all residents within the Estepona East corridor.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive 10-year structural warranty on the pool shell against leaks or cracks. Additionally, all mechanical components like pumps, salt chlorinators, and LED lighting carry the standard manufacturer’s warranty, usually 2 to 3 years. Our goal is to provide peace of mind for English-speaking residents who want a "set and forget" solution.
Are salt water systems better for the Selwo climate?
Given the high salt exposure and humidity in the Costa del Sol Occidental, salt chlorination is highly recommended. It is gentler on the skin and eyes, and more importantly, it is easier to maintain in our warm climate where chlorine levels can fluctuate rapidly. Most of our clients in Lomas de Retamar and Ocean Hills opt for salt systems for their long-term cost-efficiency.
Can you build on the sloped plots common in Selwo?
Yes, many properties in Selwo are situated on hillsides. This requires specific engineering, such as retaining walls or reinforced foundations, to ensure the pool remains stable. We have extensive experience dealing with the specific soil types and gradients found in the hills above the A-7, ensuring your pool is both beautiful and structurally sound.
