Your dream pool in Genova, built by vetted local pros
Looking for a pool builder in Genova? We connect you with vetted specialists for hillside homes above Palma with views over the bay. One request, honest local quotes, no obligation.
Genova hangs on the hillside just above Palma, a village neighbourhood famous for its restaurants and its evening views over the city and the bay. Its mix of old village houses and newer villas makes it one of the most liveable luxury corners of the capital.
Mallorca Pool Builders is a network of vetted, independent pool companies covering the whole island, including builders who work daily in the hill districts of Palma. Describe your project once and we collect honest quotes from local specialists so you can compare with no obligation.
Building a pool in Genova
Plots step down the hillside, so terraced designs, elevated shells and compact view pools dominate. A pool positioned for the sunset over the bay is the classic Genova brief.
The hill is rocky, and excavation in stone typically adds 2,000-6,000 EUR when it appears. Narrow village streets mean small machinery or crane lifts, which local builders plan as standard.
Both worlds meet here: compact patio pools at village houses and full villa projects on the newer streets. Builders in our network quote for both, plus renovations of older pools with bay views worth showing off.

Pool permits in Genova
Genova belongs to the municipality of Palma, so the licencia de obras comes from Palma city hall. Expect one to three months and the ICIO construction tax of around 3-4 percent of the build cost.
Hillside plots usually need structural documentation for retaining works, and the older village core can carry heritage considerations. Local builders prepare the right file for each case.
