Your dream pool in Petra, built by vetted local pros
Looking for a pool builder in Petra or the villages of Es Pla? We connect you with vetted specialists covering the rural heart of the island, including Sineu and Sant Joan. One request, honest local quotes, no obligation.
Petra sits in the middle of Es Pla, the agricultural heartland of Mallorca, surrounded by wheat fields, vineyards and quiet lanes connecting villages like Sineu, Sant Joan and Ariany. It is a part of the island where fincas still come with real land, and where more and more international buyers are settling.
Mallorca Pool Builders is a network of vetted, independent pool companies covering the whole island, including builders who work across the Pla villages. Describe your finca once and we connect you with local specialists so you can compare honest quotes with no obligation.
Building a pool in Petra and Es Pla
The classic project here is a finca pool on a rural plot: flat or gently rolling land, generous space and long views across the plain. Compared with the coast, plots in Es Pla give you freedom on size and orientation, and a simple 8×4 metre rectangle beside a stone farmhouse is the most requested layout.
Rural practicalities matter more than terrain: many fincas rely on wells or cisterns, so filling and topping up the pool needs planning, and single phase power supplies sometimes need upgrading for pump and filtration equipment. Access for machinery along farm tracks is usually straightforward.
The market in the Pla is growing as buyers priced out of the coast discover villages like Petra. Builders in our network quote for everything from simple skimmer pools to naturalised designs that suit agricultural surroundings.

Pool permits in Petra and the Pla municipalities
Petra is its own municipality, and each village in Es Pla has its own town hall, so the licencia de obras comes from the municipality where your finca sits. The usual timeline is one to three months and the ICIO construction tax adds around 3-4 percent of the build cost.
Most land outside the village cores is suelo rustico, where stricter Balearic rules decide whether a pool is possible and how large it can be. Plot size, existing buildings and registered use all matter, so have the planning status checked before design work begins.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a pool cost in Petra?
A tiled concrete pool of around 8×4 metres typically costs 18,000-30,000 EUR and an installed fibreglass pool of about 7×3 metres runs 12,000-20,000 EUR. Flat, workable ground in Es Pla often keeps projects in the lower half of these ranges.
Can I build a pool on suelo rustico near Petra?
Often yes, but rustic land in the Pla is governed by stricter Balearic rules and each application is assessed by the local town hall. Plot size, existing buildings and protections all influence the outcome, so verify the planning status before investing in a design.
What should finca owners in Es Pla check before building a pool?
Three things above all: the planning status of the land, the water source for filling and topping up the pool, and whether the electrical supply can run modern pump and filtration equipment. Local builders assess all three during their first visit.
