Pool heating in Mallorca: swim more months of the year

Mallorca’s swimming season is long, but a heated pool makes it longer, comfortably from spring into autumn and sometimes all year. Here is how to heat a pool on the island and what it costs to run.

Your main options

• Heat pumps. The most popular choice. They draw warmth from the air and are efficient to run in Mallorca’s mild climate. Best paired with a cover.
• Solar heating. Uses the island’s abundant sun, with very low running costs once installed. Output depends on panel area and season.
• Covers. Not heating as such, but a cover dramatically reduces heat loss and evaporation, so whatever you spend on heating goes further.

What it costs

A heat pump for a typical private pool often runs a few thousand euros to supply and fit, with running costs that depend on how warm you keep the water and whether you use a cover. Solar has a higher upfront cost but very cheap running. The most efficient setups combine a heat pump with a cover.

Extend your season the smart way

The biggest win is pairing heating with a cover and an efficient, well-sized system, so you are not heating water that simply evaporates overnight.
