Buy a Home with a Private Pool on the Southern Costa Blanca
Buy a Home with a Private Pool on the Southern Costa Blanca
Are you looking to buy a home with a private pool on the Southern Costa Blanca? If so, there are many more options than just a large detached villa.
Depending on your budget, housing preferences, and location, you can choose, for example, an existing villa with a pool, a modern newly built villa, a compact home with a plunge pool, or a townhouse where a private pool is part of the lot.
For many Dutch and Belgian buyers, a private pool is a key feature they look for in a home. Especially if you live in Spain year-round or spend a lot of time at your second home, it can be wonderful to step right into the pool from your own patio.
But a swimming pool must fit your lifestyle. It involves maintenance, technical systems, and recurring costs. Furthermore, not every swimming pool you see at a home is automatically registered in accordance with the law.
That’s why it’s wise not only to search for “villa with a pool on the Costa Blanca”, but also to evaluate the entire property, the lot, the location, and the pool.
Check out our current listings, our existing homes, and the available new-construction homes.
Which homes have a private pool?
A private pool is usually associated with a detached villa.
That is indeed the most common type of home, but it is certainly not the only option.
On the southern Costa Blanca, you can search for, among other things, a detached villa, a semi-detached home, a townhouse, a single-story villa, or a modern new-construction home with a private pool.
In some new construction projects, even on relatively compact lots, a small private pool is built.
Detached villa with a private pool
For many buyers, this is the classic Spanish dream home.
You may have:
- own lot;
- detached house;
- swimming pool;
- patio;
- garden;
- parking space;
- and plenty of privacy.
However, the amount of privacy you actually have depends heavily on:
- lot size;
- elevation differences;
- surrounding buildings;
- the garden wall;
- and the location of the pool.
So just because a villa is detached doesn't automatically mean that no one can see into your patio.
Single-story villa with a pool
A single-story villa with a private pool is especially popular among buyers who want a future-oriented lifestyle.
You'll have a living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms all on one floor.
Ideally, the following should also be included:
- swimming pool;
- patio;
- parking space;
- and admission
at about the same level.
That makes the home practical for everyday use.
Be sure to check out our information on single-story living on the Costa Blanca through our current listings.
Two stories or one story?
A two-story home can provide more living space on a smaller lot.
That could create room for:
- additional bedrooms;
- office;
- guest house;
- balcony;
- or a larger pool deck.
A single-story villa is often more practical, but usually requires more land for the same living space.
The best choice, therefore, does not depend solely on a preference for stairs.
Newly built villa with a private pool
In new developments on the Costa Blanca, you'll find many modern villas with clean lines, large sliding glass doors, and a pool right off the patio.
That looks appealing in the renders.
But always make sure that the pool is actually included in the selling price.
In some projects, the pool is included as standard. In other projects, it is:
- optional;
- for an additional charge;
- Included only with certain models;
- or depending on the size of the lot.
A pool shown in the rendering does not automatically mean it is included
This is important.
A real estate listing often shows the most attractive version of the home, including:
- swimming pool;
- garden;
- pergola;
- lounge;
- outdoor kitchen;
- furniture;
- lighting;
- plants;
- and decoration.
The rendering is not an inventory list.
Always check the specifications and the specific price list for the property you are considering.
What should you check when installing a new pool?
Don't just ask, “Is the pool included?”
Also check:
- length and width;
- depth;
- entrance or staircase;
- lighting;
- pumping system;
- filter;
- outdoor shower;
- tiling;
- wraparound patio;
- and any necessary preparations for heating.
A 3-by-5-meter pool offers a different experience than a 4-by-8-meter pool.
Plunge pool
On smaller new-construction lots, you’re seeing compact private pools more and more often.
These are sometimes referred to as:
- plunge pool;
- splash pool;
- mini pool;
- of a private pool.
This might work well for cooling down.
If you really want to swim laps, you'll need a pool of a different size.
So don't just focus on the term “private pool.”
Existing villa with a pool
An existing home may be a good option if you're looking for:
- larger lot;
- mature garden;
- more privacy;
- larger swimming pool;
- established residential area;
- and immediate availability.
However, with an older pool, you should also assess its technical condition.
How old is the swimming pool?
If possible, ask when the pool was built or last renovated.
Check the following, among other things:
- tile work;
- join;
- pump;
- filter;
- skimmers;
- pipes;
- lighting;
- edge finishing;
- and any leaks.
A swimming pool can look clean and well-maintained even when its systems are technically due for replacement.
How to Spot a Leak
A pool with a slow leak isn't always noticeable during a single viewing.
Possible signs include:
- refill regularly;
- moisture around the utility room;
- tears;
- loose tiles;
- prolapse;
- or comments regarding unusually high water usage.
If in doubt, a specialist can inspect the pool.
Is the swimming pool legally registered?
This is important for existing homes.
Have the pool verified to ensure it is correctly listed in the relevant legal and land registry documents.
This is especially true when the pool was added to the home at a later date.
The actual situation should align as closely as possible with, among other things:
- Land Registry;
- Census;
- construction documentation;
- and any necessary permits.
Large pool or small pool?
Bigger isn't necessarily better.
A larger pool usually also means:
- more water;
- more chemicals;
- larger pump;
- more cleaning;
- and potentially higher maintenance costs.
For two people, a compact pool can be more than enough.
For a family that wants to swim every day, a larger pool might actually be important.
Depth of the pool
Many buyers only pay attention to length and width.
Depth is just as important.
A very deep pool uses more water and may be less practical for young children or leisure use.
So be sure to ask for:
- minimum depth;
- maximum depth;
- a children's area, if any;
- and the slope of the ground.
Stair steps or a ladder?
A built-in wide staircase can be much more practical than a metal pool ladder.
Especially if you:
- as one gets older;
- has children;
- are less mobile;
- or if you often want to walk calmly in and out of the water.
When making future-oriented purchasing decisions, this can be an important detail.
Swimming pool on the same level as the house
This is especially important on sloping lots.
A home can be entirely on one level, while the pool is ten steps below.
Anyone who is specifically looking for a practical home without stairs should therefore consider:
- home;
- parking space;
- patio;
- and a swimming pool.
Don't just look at the floor plan inside.
South-facing swimming pool
Many homebuyers specifically ask for a south-facing pool.
That can be nice for enjoying the sun in the fall and winter.
But the south isn't necessarily ideal for everyone.
In July and August, shade can actually be important.
So take a look at:
- hours of sunshine;
- surrounding buildings;
- trees;
- pergola;
- and when you use the home.
Winter Sun Around the Pool
Would you like to spend the winter here?
In that case, this is especially important.
A swimming pool can be completely in the shade in January because of:
- neighboring house;
- high garden wall;
- mountain;
- tree;
- or one's own home.
If possible, visit a home outside of the summer months, or have the sun’s angle carefully assessed.
Heated pool
Would you like to use your pool longer than just during the summer?
In that case, pool heating might be worth considering.
Possibilities may include:
- heat pump;
- solar heating;
- cover;
- or a combination of these.
Have the electrical system inspected to ensure it is adequately suitable, and find out what “installation” and “use” mean.
Pool Cover
Proper coverage can help with:
- heat loss;
- dirt;
- evaporation;
- and maintenance.
But not every cover is intended as a safety feature.
When child safety is a priority, you should specifically look for systems that are designed for that purpose.
Saltwater Pool
The term saltwater pool can be confusing.
It usually doesn't mean that you're swimming in actual seawater.
A salt electrolysis system uses salt to produce chlorine.
So you still need a system for:
- water quality;
- pH;
- filtering;
- and maintenance.
Chlorine pool or saltwater system?
Both have advantages and disadvantages.
A salt-electrolysis system can make daily maintenance more convenient, but it also has:
- equipment;
- maintenance;
- cells that will eventually need to be replaced;
- and proper water balance
required.
If you're looking at an existing home, ask what system is installed and how old it is.
Automatic pH Control
Modern swimming pool systems may include automated systems for, for example:
- pH;
- disinfection;
- filtration;
- and operation.
That can be nice, especially with a second home.
But more technology also means more parts that need to be maintained.
Outsourcing Pool Maintenance
Many foreign homeowners outsource their pool maintenance.
For example, a maintenance company may periodically:
- testing water;
- cleaning the pool;
- Check the filter;
- adjust the chemicals;
- and identify technical issues.
This can be especially helpful if you live in Spain only part of the year.
Second home with a private pool
Having your own pool is wonderful during vacations, but it requires attention when you're away for months.
Consider:
- periodic inspection;
- pump;
- water level;
- cleaning;
- garden;
- storm damage;
- and any leaks.
A villa with a private pool therefore requires more maintenance than an apartment with a communal pool.
Private pool or communal pool?
This is one of the most important decisions.
Private Pool
This is more appropriate if you:
- want complete privacy;
- want to decide for yourself when to swim;
- do not want shared pool rules;
- considers having a private patio important;
- and doesn't mind the maintenance.
Communal swimming pool
This is more appropriate if you:
- want less maintenance;
- do not want to manage pool systems;
- owns a second home;
- and doesn't need the pool to be private every day.
In a community, however, you pay for it collectively through the community association.
Is a private pool always more expensive?
Not necessarily just the purchase price.
A small villa inland with a private pool may sometimes be priced differently than a luxury apartment by the sea with a large communal pool.
The total price is determined by many more factors:
- location;
- lot;
- year of manufacture;
- ocean view;
- living space;
- distance to the beach;
- state;
- and amenities.
Annual Costs of a Private Pool
It is not wise to give an exact general amount.
Costs depend, among other things, on:
- format;
- filtration system;
- use;
- water;
- electricity;
- maintenance contract;
- heating;
- repairs;
- and how long the pump runs each day.
When looking at an existing home, ask about its actual recent energy usage and maintenance history.
Electricity Consumption
The pool pump can be a significant source of power consumption.
A modern, efficient pump can differ significantly from an older system.
Therefore, when inspecting older villas, check the following:
- age of the pump;
- type;
- assets;
- hours;
- and technical condition.
Water Consumption
A swimming pool isn't completely drained and refilled every week.
However, water may be needed due to:
- evaporation;
- backwashing the filter;
- splash loss;
- leak;
- and maintenance.
A problem involving frequent refills on a regular basis warrants further investigation.
Draining the Pool
It's not always a good idea to completely drain a swimming pool.
Depending on the construction, groundwater, and conditions, this can pose technical risks.
Therefore, have major work performed or inspected by a pool professional.
Garden and Pool
Many villas have both a pool and a garden.
That makes for a wonderful outdoor lifestyle, but both require maintenance.
Consider:
- irrigation;
- pruning;
- swimming pool;
- the terrace;
- leaves;
- insects;
- and outdoor furniture.
If you want a low-maintenance yard, a largely tiled lot may be more practical.
Mature Garden
An older villa may have a beautiful, mature garden featuring:
- palm trees;
- citrus;
- bougainvillea;
- oleander;
- and other Mediterranean plants.
That immediately adds atmosphere and shade.
But large trees can also affect:
- swimming pool filter;
- the terrace;
- carrots;
- gutters;
- and daily maintenance.
Privacy Around the Pool
For a home with a pool, privacy is often more important than for a home without a pool.
Therefore, don't just check garden walls.
Be sure to look up and to the side, too.
Neighbors can access it from:
- balcony;
- solarium;
- bedroom;
- or a street located at a higher elevation
A direct view of the pool.
Corner house
A corner lot can offer more space or privacy.
But it can also mean:
- two street-facing sides;
- more insight;
- more noise;
- and an additional exterior wall.
Evaluate each home individually.
Villa on the golf course with a pool
If you want to combine golf and a swimming pool, you might want to check out, for example, La Marquesa in Rojales or La Finca in Algorfa.
In the area around Ciudad Quesada, you'll find many villas with private pools.
If you're looking at a home right on the golf course, in addition to the pool, you should also consider:
- privacy;
- golf balls;
- position relative to the fairway;
- maintenance;
- and actual access to the track.
Ciudad Quesada
Ciudad Quesada is one of the best-known areas for villas with private pools on the southern Costa Blanca.
Here you will find:
- existing villas;
- renovated homes;
- modern new construction;
- various lot sizes;
- and neighborhoods with very different elevation differences.
Learn more about living in Ciudad Quesada.
Rojales
Rojales includes not only the traditional Spanish town center but also Ciudad Quesada and La Marquesa.
As a result, the housing supply is very diverse.
For example, a villa with a pool could be found here:
- close to the golf course;
- high up with a view;
- relatively central;
- or, on the other hand, in a quiet residential neighborhood
are.
Benijófar
Benijófar is a good choice if you're looking for a more modern villa with a pool in a relatively compact municipality.
The village is located right next to Rojales and Ciudad Quesada.
For permanent residents, the combination of a villa, a private pool, and amenities located relatively nearby can be particularly appealing.
Algorfa
Algorfa offers a variety of housing options.
For example, you can check out:
- rural setting;
- residential developments;
- at La Finca Golf.
Around La Finca, you'll find many modern villas and homes where golf plays an important role in the local area.
The Montesinos
Los Montesinos might be of interest to those looking for modern villas with a pool in an inland setting.
The area is relatively flat and is located nearby:
- Old Tower
- Ciudad Quesada;
- San Miguel de Salinas;
- and several golf courses.
San Miguel de Salinas
San Miguel de Salinas also offers villas and new construction.
The landscape here is hillier.
This gives you a view, but when it comes to a swimming pool, you'll need to pay extra attention to:
- levels;
- stairs;
- retaining walls;
- and drainage.
Saint Fulgence
San Fulgencio has many villas and low-rise buildings in a relatively flat area.
For buyers looking for:
- private pool;
- international environment;
- own lot;
- and the coast is within driving distance
This might be interesting.
Campoverde Pine Forest
Pinar de Campoverde is a great choice for those who want to combine a pool with green spaces.
You'll find many detached villas in a quiet, nature-rich residential area.
The lots can be larger and greener than those in compact new-construction projects.
On the other hand, this usually involves more garden and pool maintenance.
Pilar de la Horadada
Pilar de la Horadada offers a wide variety of options.
You can choose between:
- domestic center;
- residential areas;
- La Horadada Tower;
- A Thousand Palm Trees;
- and other parts of the municipality.
Detached villas with private pools are found primarily outside the most densely populated apartment complexes.
Orihuela Costa
Orihuela Costa also has villas with private pools.
Consider residential areas around:
- Villamartín
- Campoamor;
- The Philippines
- The Dolses;
- Cabo Roig;
- and other residential areas.
If you're looking for a place where the pool and the beach are both relatively close by, you'll find some great options here.
Beachfront Villa with Pool
The closer you get to popular coastal areas, the more the market can change.
For the same budget, you sometimes get:
- smaller lot;
- small villa;
- older model year;
- or less privacy
then a few kilometers inland.
On the other hand, there is the proximity to the sea.
A pool or the beach right outside the door?
This is an important decision.
If you live just a few minutes' walk from a nice beach, you might use your private pool less often than you expected.
People who live further inland can use the pool almost every day as their main outdoor amenity.
So decide in advance what is truly important to you.
A villa in Guardamar?
Guardamar del Segura has mainly apartments and townhouses.
Detached villas with large lots are less common than in Ciudad Quesada or Pinar de Campoverde.
If you absolutely want your own pool, you can also compare the surrounding inland areas.
Old Tower
Torrevieja has a very diverse housing market.
In and around the suburbs, depending on what’s available, you’ll find:
- villas;
- townhouses;
- bungalows;
- and new construction with a private pool.
In the compact city center, apartments are much more prevalent.
The Balconies
Los Balcones is a great area if you're looking for a villa with a private pool but want to stay close to Torrevieja.
You'll find many single-family homes and larger lots there.
Always check:
- exact location;
- slopes;
- distance to amenities;
- and the technical condition of existing villas.
Second home with a private pool
For a second home, having a private pool can be fantastic.
But think ahead about who will manage things while you're away.
Anyone staying in the Netherlands or Belgium for several months in a row often needs someone to help with:
- swimming pool;
- garden;
- home inspection;
- ventilation;
- after
- and any minor issues.
Apartment with a pool as an alternative
If your main priority is swimming but you want to keep maintenance to a minimum, an apartment or bungalow with a shared pool might be a better option.
You pay the community fee, but you don't have to check the water quality and the pump yourself every week.
Permanent residence with a private pool
For permanent residents, a private pool can actually be very practical.
You'll be there all year round and can:
- check maintenance;
- use the pool;
- manage coverage;
- and quickly identify problems.
In that case, the considerations are different from those for a vacation home.
Family home
For families, a private pool is often a top priority.
But safety must be taken into account.
Check out:
- view from the living room;
- enclosed garden;
- fencing;
- pool ladder;
- non-slip flooring;
- and depth.
Swimming Pools and Young Children
A private pool does not have a lifeguard.
Responsibility lies entirely with the owner and any adults present.
A gate or safety measure may therefore be a good idea when young children are in the home.
Swimming Pool for Retirees
For people who want to spend their retirement in Spain, a private pool can be a real treat.
But also make future-oriented purchases.
Please note:
- pool ladder;
- maintenance;
- garden;
- differences in level;
- distance from home;
- and the option to outsource maintenance at a later date.
Health Care and Permanent Housing
Anyone moving to Spain permanently needs to consider more than just housing.
Also keep in mind:
- health care;
- groceries;
- social environment;
- accessibility;
- and everyday necessities.
Learn more about health care in Spain and moving to Spain.
A Private Pool as an Investment
Would you like to invest in Spanish real estate?
A private pool may be appealing to certain target groups, but it does not guarantee a higher return on investment.
Analyze the entire home.
Consider:
- purchase price;
- location;
- number of bedrooms;
- outdoor space;
- maintenance;
- energy;
- swimming pool fees;
- rental rules;
- and future marketability.
Vacation Rentals
A villa with a pool can be an attractive option for vacation rentals.
However, check before purchasing whether tourist rentals are permitted for that specific property.
That may depend, among other things, on:
- regulations of the Valencian Community;
- municipality;
- urban planning context;
- any community;
- and registration requirements.
A swimming pool does not automatically make a home suitable or permitted for vacation rentals.
Carefully Assess the Expected Rent
Don't let yourself be swayed solely by a high estimated weekly rent.
See also:
- occupancy rate;
- season;
- management;
- cleaning;
- pool maintenance;
- garden;
- taxes;
- insurance;
- and periods without tenants.
Returns should always be evaluated based on net costs.
Long-Term Rentals
For long-term rentals, a swimming pool can also be an attractive feature.
But for long-term tenants, the following are often just as important:
- school;
- work;
- bedrooms;
- parking space;
- internet;
- stores;
- and maintenance.
A swimming pool alone doesn't make a home a good rental property.
Private pool and community
A detached villa can have its own pool and still be part of a community.
This can happen in residential projects.
Therefore, always check:
- community contribution;
- shared facilities;
- rules;
- and responsibilities.
Don't automatically assume that "detached = no community association."
Pets
For dog owners, a villa with a pool and garden can be appealing.
Please note:
- enough shade;
- fence;
- safe access to the swimming pool;
- plants;
- and grounds.
Not every dog knows how to handle water responsibly.
Swimming pool and patio area
A large pool on a small lot could mean that virtually the entire patio disappears.
Therefore, check how much usable space remains for:
- dining table;
- sun loungers;
- barbecue;
- walk;
- and children.
The relationship between the pool and the lot is more important than just the size of the pool.
Outdoor Kitchen
A home with a pool is often paired with an outdoor kitchen.
That may be practical, but for existing buildings, check to see if any structures have been properly constructed and registered where necessary.
For new construction, you should verify that the outdoor kitchen is actually included.
Pergola
Shade is not a luxury on the Costa Blanca.
A pergola can make the pool deck much more comfortable.
But check:
- included with new construction;
- permit if installed at a later date;
- material;
- orientation;
- and wind loads.
Pool house of casita
Some of the larger villas have a separate building by the pool.
It can be used as:
- shower;
- restroom;
- kitchen;
- storage;
- or guest room.
Always verify the legal registration.
A “casita” mentioned in an ad is not automatically considered official living space.
Guest House by the Pool
A guesthouse can be a good option if family members visit often.
But have the space inspected to see if:
- exists legally;
- has adequate ventilation;
- is connected correctly;
- and may be used as living quarters.
View and Pool
In hilly areas, you can find homes where the pool overlooks:
- golf course;
- salt lakes;
- Bergen;
- or even toward the sea.
That can be wonderful.
But also check out:
- wind;
- elevation difference;
- privacy;
- retaining walls;
- and accessibility.
Infinity pool
Modern villas on sloping lots can feature an infinity pool.
This looks spectacular, but the technical system is more complex than that of a standard swimming pool.
As a result, maintenance and any repairs may also differ.
Retaining walls on a sloped lot
When the pool and patio are located on an elevated part of the lot, retaining walls can be important.
Check for:
- tears;
- prolapse;
- drainage;
- and structural condition.
This is a particular concern in older homes.
Drainage around the pool
The patio must be able to drain rainwater and pool water effectively.
Check:
- drainage points;
- slope;
- drains;
- location relative to the residence;
- and any low-lying areas.
Water flowing toward the living room is, of course, undesirable.
Flood Risk
In parts of the Vega Baja, it is advisable to check the flood risk for a specific home.
A swimming pool in and of itself isn't a problem, but the elevation of the lot, the garage, the patio, and street level can be important factors.
Therefore, have official risk information and the specific location assessed when relevant.
Can it be heated in the winter?
An unheated pool can be too cold for many people during the cooler months.
If you really want to swim from October through April, please discuss the following:
- pool heating;
- cover;
- sun exposure;
- energy consumption;
- and installation costs.
Don't buy one based on the assumption that every outdoor pool here stays comfortably warm twelve months a year.
Indoor pool?
Occasionally, you'll come across larger villas with an indoor pool.
That's a whole different category.
In that case, be sure to check the following:
- ventilation;
- moisture control;
- heating;
- utility room;
- and energy costs.
For most buyers, an outdoor pool makes more sense.
How much does a home with a private pool cost?
There is no meaningful general amount for that.
For example, you might compare:
- older detached villa;
- renovated villa;
- newly built villa;
- townhouse with a small pool;
- villa at a golf resort;
- villa near the sea;
- or a home in the countryside with a larger lot.
The location can cause a greater price difference than the pool itself.
So be sure to check out our current listings for the latest asking prices.
Compare total costs
A cheaper home with an old swimming pool may end up costing more than a more expensive home where everything has been recently renovated.
So please bring the following:
- swimming pool renovation;
- pump;
- filter;
- patio;
- garden;
- air conditioning;
- home renovation;
- and legal redress, if necessary.
Starting price for newly built villas
For new construction, a starting price may apply to a base model.
Next, check what additional costs apply for:
- swimming pool;
- solarium;
- larger tiles;
- equipment;
- air conditioning;
- garden;
- pergola;
- and other options.
Compare the final sale price, not just the asking price.
Purchase Costs
When buying a house in Spain, there are additional costs on top of the purchase price.
New construction and existing buildings are treated differently for tax purposes.
In addition, costs may be a factor in the following areas, among others:
- notary;
- property registry;
- legal guidance;
- and financing.
Always have a personalized, comprehensive estimate prepared for the specific home.
Mortgage for a villa with a pool
Dutch and Belgian buyers can apply for a Spanish mortgage under certain conditions.
The possibilities depend, among other things, on:
- income;
- financial obligations;
- age;
- taxation;
- home value;
- and immigration status.
Learn more about a mortgage in Spain.
Swimming Pool and Appraisal
When taking out a mortgage, the home is appraised.
A swimming pool can contribute to the property's value, but the mere presence of a swimming pool does not automatically mean that the appraised value is significantly higher.
The entire property and the legal situation are taken into account.
NIE number
To buy real estate in Spain, you need an NIE number.
An NIE is not the same as a residencia.
Learn more about NIE and residency in Spain.
Legal Review of a Home with a Pool
When purchasing an existing villa, I would have the following checked, among other things:
- ownership;
- children;
- Land Registry;
- Census;
- living area;
- lot area;
- swimming pool;
- garage;
- outbuildings;
- expansions;
- and any community.
The swimming pool should not be treated as a separate detail in this context.

First, figure out what kind of pool you really need
Before you start selecting homes, it’s a good idea to be more specific than just “private pool.”
Are you looking primarily to cool off, swim every day, let the kids play, spend the winter, or enjoy a luxurious outdoor lifestyle?
That determines whether, for example, you're looking for a compact plunge pool or, on the other hand, a larger pool with a spacious deck surrounding it.
Four Interesting Home Profiles
Single-story villa with a pool
This is an attractive option for future-oriented and permanent living, especially when the house, patio, pool, and parking space are all on the same level.
Existing villa with a large swimming pool
This property will appeal to those looking for a larger lot, a mature garden, and an established neighborhood, and who are willing to have the property’s technical condition thoroughly inspected.
Newly built villa with a compact pool
This is a good option for anyone who values modern finishes, new amenities, and less yard work.
Villa with a pool near a golf course or the coast
This is of interest to anyone who wants to incorporate a pool into a specific lifestyle, but who also carefully considers location, privacy, and overall budget.
Where is the best place to look?
If you’re looking for a wide selection of villas with private pools, areas such as Ciudad Quesada, Rojales, Benijófar, Los Montesinos, San Fulgencio, Algorfa, and San Miguel de Salinas are worth comparing.
If you're also looking for nature and green spaces, Pinar de Campoverde might be of interest.
If you'd like to have both a pool and the coast relatively close by, be sure to also compare Orihuela Costa, Pilar de la Horadada, and parts of Torrevieja.
So the best location depends on much more than just the pool.
View homes with private pools on the Costa Blanca
Would you like to know which homes with private pools are currently available?
Then take a look at our current listings, our existing homes, the available new-construction homes, and current new-construction projects.
Would you like us to conduct a targeted search for, say, a single-level villa with a pool, a newly built villa, a home with a large lot, a villa near a golf course, a home near the beach, or a low-maintenance second home? If so, please fill out the questionnaire for your home search or feel free to contact Casas Palmeras.
A home with a private pool on the Southern Costa Blanca can range from a compact, modern villa to a spacious existing home with a mature garden and large lot. So be sure to look beyond just the blue pool in the photo. Check the dimensions, technical condition, property registration, sun exposure, privacy, maintenance requirements, elevation changes, and the proportion between the pool and the terrace. A well-chosen private pool should not only look good during a viewing but also align with how often you’ll use the home, how much maintenance you’re willing to handle, and how you envision living there in five, ten, or twenty years.
