Buying a property with a pool in Urbanisation La Marina: What are your options?

For many buyers looking for a property in Urbanization La Marina, having access to a swimming pool is high on their list of priorities. But does this necessarily mean you need to buy a detached villa with a private pool? Not at all.

One of the advantages of buying a property with a pool in Urbanization La Marina is that there are several different options available, depending on your budget, the type of property you prefer and how often you actually plan to use the pool.

Terraced houses: affordable properties with public pools nearby

Terraced houses are among the most popular and best-value properties in Urbanization La Marina. Generally speaking, traditional terraced properties do not have communal swimming pools, although there are a small number of residential areas and developments where communal facilities are available.

Over time, more individual parques within the urbanization are also forming residents’ communities. This could potentially create more opportunities in the future for owners to organise shared facilities within their respective areas.

However, not having a pool at the property does not necessarily mean giving up the idea of spending summer days by the water. Urbanization La Marina has two established swimming pool areas within the urbanization itself, meaning many terraced houses are within walking distance of a pool. Local information places one close to the Satellite roundabout and the other, Hillside, towards Calle Bilbao.

LA MARINA SPORT COMPLEX Swimming Pool

La Marina Sport Complex is located within the urbanization and offers much more than just a swimming pool.

The complex features a large swimming pool, bowling green, bar and restaurant, making it a popular social and leisure venue for residents. La Marina Bowling Club is also based here, and you do not need to be a bowling club member to enjoy the bar and restaurant.

It is an especially attractive option for buyers who like the idea of spending an afternoon by the pool, having something to eat or drink and enjoying other nearby activities without having to maintain a private swimming pool at home. Click the following link for more information:

AQUA MARINA Swimming Pool – Hillside Pool & Leisure Area

At the other end of the urbanization, you will also find the swimming pool area around Calle Bilbao, next to The Hillside Snooker and Bar.

The Hillside area combines the experience of enjoying a swimming pool with a relaxed social atmosphere. Nearby facilities include a bar and food service, a large outdoor terrace, four full-size snooker tables, a pool table, darts area and children’s facilities. Regular events are also held throughout the year.

This means that a simple visit to the pool can easily turn into an entire afternoon or evening out, something particularly appealing for families, visiting friends or owners who enjoy the social side of life in La Marina. You can find more information at the following link:

For buyers who only use a pool occasionally, a terraced house can therefore be a very attractive option. Instead of paying more for a property with its own pool, you can enjoy a more affordable home while still having somewhere nearby to swim, sunbathe and spend the afternoon.

This is especially worth considering if you are buying a holiday home and only plan to spend several weeks or months there each year.

Spend the day at La Marina Resort

There is another nearby alternative for those looking for something a little more special. Samay La Marina Resort, still known locally by many people as La Marina Camping, is a large holiday resort located close to La Marina beach.

The resort covers approximately 120,000 m² and includes swimming pools, sports facilities, restaurants, entertainment and a large wellness and spa area. It is also approximately 700 metres from Playa del Rebollo. Its water facilities form an important part of the resort’s family entertainment offering.

Therefore, for buyers who do not necessarily want the responsibility of maintaining their own swimming pool, having a place like this nearby provides another option for enjoying a full day by the pool. You can find more information about the resort here:

Quad houses and villas with communal pools: a very popular option for those looking to buy a property with a pool in Urbanization La Marina

Another very popular option for buyers looking to purchase a property with a pool in Urbanization La Marina is to choose a home within a community with a communal swimming pool.

There are both quad properties and detached villas located in communities where residents have access to a shared swimming pool and communal areas.

For many buyers, this offers the best of both worlds: you have the convenience of a swimming pool practically on your doorstep without having to personally take care of its cleaning and maintenance.

These properties normally have an annual community fee, which varies depending on the development and the facilities provided. As a general guide, we frequently see community fees of around €300 per year, although this amount should always be checked for the individual property before purchasing.

Properties with communal pools are particularly popular with holiday-home buyers, as you can simply arrive, unlock your property and enjoy the pool without worrying about whether it has been cleaned or maintained while you have been away.

Detached villas with private pools: the premium choice for those looking to buy a property with a pool in Urbanization La Marina

If having your own private swimming pool is essential, you will find numerous detached villas throughout Urbanization La Marina offering exactly that. Options range from traditional Spanish-style villas to larger modern properties with generous outdoor areas.

A private swimming pool gives you complete freedom. There are no communal opening hours, you do not have to share it with neighbours and you can use it whenever you wish.

Of course, that privacy also comes with additional responsibility. As a rough guide, regular maintenance of a private swimming pool can cost approximately €50–€70 per month, depending on the size of the pool, the maintenance company and what services are included. Electricity, water and occasional repair costs should also be taken into account.

However, for permanent residents or buyers who spend a large part of the year in Spain, a private pool remains one of the most desirable features a property can offer.

Villas with space to build a pool: another interesting option if you are looking to buy a property with a pool in Urbanization La Marina

Another option that some buyers overlook is purchasing a detached villa that does not currently have a pool but has enough outdoor space to potentially install one in the future.

In some cases, these properties can offer better value for money than an equivalent villa where the pool has already been built. They also allow you to choose the size, design and position of the pool yourself, subject, of course, to the necessary planning permissions and technical requirements.

When viewing properties with Watsons Real Estate, we can help identify those that appear to have sufficient space and advise you to investigate the possibilities in greater detail before committing to a purchase.

And yes… some properties have both!

Occasionally, we even have properties offering both a private swimming pool and access to a communal pool. For some buyers this may sound excessive, but it can actually be very appealing.

You can enjoy your private pool at home whenever you want peace and privacy, while the communal pool provides a more social environment where you can meet neighbours, children can play together and visiting family members have another area to enjoy.
