Building a pool in Santanyí: what to know
Santanyí covers the southeast corner of the island, from the honey coloured old town to the coast at Cala d’Or, Cala Figuera and Portopetro. The area mixes holiday villas near the calas with traditional fincas inland, and both make excellent pool plots.
The ground here is marés, the local sandstone that Santanyí is famous for. It can be excavated at reasonable cost, and many owners reuse cut marés blocks for pool surrounds and low walls, which ties the new pool visually to the finca.
| Project type | Typical price 2026 |
|---|---|
| Concrete pool 8×4 m, tiled | EUR 18,000 to 30,000 |
| Fibreglass pool 7×3 m | EUR 12,000 to 20,000 |
| Full renovation of an existing pool | EUR 8,000 to 20,000 |
| Building permit | EUR 300 to 1,500 plus ICIO of 3 to 4 percent |
Santanyí is its own municipality. A licencia de obras from the town hall is required before work starts, processing typically takes one to three months, and the ICIO tax of 3 to 4 percent of the build cost applies. On rustic land outside the villages the plot must meet minimum planning requirements, so have the paperwork checked early.

Do I need a building permit for a pool in Santanyí?
Yes. Santanyí is its own municipality and requires a licencia de obras for any fixed pool. The licence fee is typically EUR 300 to 1,500 and the ICIO construction tax adds 3 to 4 percent of the build cost.
Can I build a pool on rustic land in Santanyí?
Often yes, when the plot has a legal dwelling and meets the planning requirements for rural land. The town hall reviews these applications case by case, so budget one to three months for the licencia de obras plus the ICIO tax of 3 to 4 percent.
