Hotel and holiday-apartment pools in Benidorm, hillside villas in Altea and Finestrat, and homes among the pines in La Nucía and Polop. We look after your pool even if you spend half the year away, and we build infinity pools wherever the terrain gets tricky.
The Marina Baixa squeezes two very different worlds into a small area. Benidorm belongs to the hotels, aparthotels and apartment towers of Levante, Poniente and the Rincón de Loix, with pools on terraces and rooftops that welcome swimmers almost all year round. Around it, in Altea, Finestrat and L'Alfàs del Pi, the hillsides are dotted with sea-view villas: Altea Hills and Mascarat high on the sierra that plunges into the sea, Sierra Cortina and the Balcón de Finestrat looking out over the bay, and L'Albir at the foot of the Serra Gelada.
Inland, the scenery changes. La Nucía and Polop mean villas on plots with pines and carob trees, urbanisations such as Bello Horizonte or El Tossal, and nights that are noticeably cooler than on the coast. La Vila Joiosa mixes village houses, villas from the seventies and eighties and urbanisations overlooking its coves. Many of the owners come from elsewhere in Europe: British, Belgian, Dutch and German, plus a long-established Nordic community in L'Alfàs del Pi. Many spend the winter here and head home for the summer, just when the pool needs the most work.
That shapes what we are asked to do. In Benidorm's hotels and holiday apartments: daily water tests, an up-to-date logbook and Legionella prevention in shared hot tubs and spas. At the villas: a maintenance plan while the owner is away, heat pumps for a swim in January, and infinity pools on steep plots where machinery struggles to get in. The same problems crop up again and again: pine needles clogging skimmers and filters in La Nucía and Polop, salt air attacking ladders and lights on the seafront, limescale along the waterline, and eighties mosaic-tiled pools with leaking pipes.
We set out every day from our base in the Pla de la Vallonga, in Alicante, and plan visits town by town so that every pool has its own fixed day. With hotels, we agree the testing calendar before high season; owners who live abroad hear how their water is doing without having to call. And if you write to us in English or German, we will reply in your language.
For hotels, aparthotels and holiday-apartment buildings in Benidorm and La Vila Joiosa: daily water tests, a logbook kept up to date, chemicals adjusted to occupancy and regular checks of the plant room. We get the pool ready ahead of peak occupancy and keep a close eye on it when it is at its busiest.
See the serviceA weekly or fortnightly pool service for villas and houses in Altea, L'Alfàs del Pi, Finestrat or Polop whose owners spend long spells back home. We clean, balance the water, check the equipment and send you photos after every visit, even in the middle of August, when the house is empty and the sun is relentless.
See the serviceThe slopes of Altea Hills, Mascarat, Sierra Cortina and the Balcón de Finestrat call for pools that look out to sea. We build infinity pools with a retaining wall, a balance tank and an edge aligned with the view, and we tackle steep access and narrow streets with our own gunite crew, no subcontractors.
See the serviceIf you winter in the Marina Baixa, you want to swim in December or February. We size inverter heat pumps to the pool volume and the way you use it, add a thermal cover so the heat is not lost overnight, and find a spot for the unit where the noise will not bother the neighbours on the urbanisation.
See the serviceWe install and maintain outdoor hot tubs on Benidorm penthouses and Altea villa terraces, as well as built-in spas next to the pool. In shared hot tubs at hotels and holiday apartments, the warm water means disinfection has to be watched closely and a Legionella prevention plan followed.
See the serviceBenidorm's apartment towers and the residential complexes of L'Alfàs and La Nucía share large, heavily used pools. We sign annual contracts with communities of owners and property administrators: season opening, water tests, repairs and clear quotes to take to the owners' meeting.

ExampleSeasonal contract for the outdoor pool and hot tub of a seafront hotel: daily tests recorded in the logbook, chlorine and pH adjusted to occupancy, cleaning of the overflow channel and skimmers, checks of the plant room and a Legionella prevention protocol for the hot tub.
Hotels and holiday rentals
ExampleSprayed concrete shell with an infinity edge facing the sea, a retaining wall anchored into the rock, a balance tank hidden under the terrace and pale grey mosaic tiles. The streets are narrow and steep, so the concrete was sprayed from the plot entrance and the steel reinforcement carried up in stages.
Infinity pools
ExampleInverter heat pump sized to the pool volume, connected to the existing filtration circuit and sited well away from the neighbours' bedrooms, with a thermal cover for cold nights and a schedule designed for owners who spend the winter here and want warm water every day.

Frequently asked questions
Pool maintenance in Benidorm, Altea, L'Alfàs del Pi, La Nucía, Finestrat, Polop and La Vila Joiosa: hotel pools, hillside villas and owners abroad. Call us.
Yes, it is what we are asked for most in the Marina Baixa. With a weekly or fortnightly plan we come on the agreed day, clean the pool, balance the water and check the filtration system, in August too, when the heat sends algae into overdrive. After each visit we send you photos, and if something goes wrong we tell you before we touch it, so the decision is always yours.
Public-use pools, such as those at hotels and holiday apartments, must meet the technical and health criteria set by Spain's national Real Decreto on swimming pools: regular water testing, recorded results and ongoing quality monitoring. If there is a shared spa or hot tub, Legionella also has to be prevented. We take care of the daily tests, the logbook and the lab analyses.
Yes, and those slopes are where infinity pools look their best. The pool sits on a retaining wall; the water spilling over the edge falls into a channel and returns from a balance tank. We assess machinery access, the rock and the views, help you with the paperwork and coordinate with your architect. Before work starts, you get a fixed written quote.
Inland in the Marina Baixa, the nights cool down sooner than on the coast and the water loses heat quickly in spring and autumn. A correctly sized inverter heat pump, together with a thermal cover, extends the swimming season considerably. We work out the output from the pool volume and how much sun it gets, and explain how hard the unit will have to work before we install it.
