Your dream pool in Son Vida, built by vetted local pros
Looking for a pool builder in Son Vida? We connect you with vetted specialists for estate scale projects in the most exclusive gated address on Mallorca. One request, honest local quotes, no obligation.
Son Vida is the grand old name of Mallorca luxury: a gated hillside above Palma wrapped around three golf courses, where plots are measured in thousands of square metres and villas in the tens of millions. Projects here are estates, not gardens.
Mallorca Pool Builders is a network of vetted, independent pool companies covering the whole island, including builders who deliver estate scale work to Son Vida standards. Describe your project once and we collect honest quotes from local specialists so you can compare with no obligation.
Building a pool in Son Vida
Pools here go large and bespoke: fifteen metre lap pools, wellness zones with integrated spas, pool houses and full outdoor living builds. The pool is usually one part of a wider landscape project.
The hillside mixes deep soil with rock, so ground studies come first and stone excavation of 2,000-6,000 EUR appears regularly. Heating, automation, covers and quiet premium equipment are standard specification.
Discretion matters: gated access, agreed working hours and tidy sites are conditions of working in Son Vida. Builders in our network are used to delivering to this standard, for new estates and full renovations alike.

Pool permits in Son Vida
Son Vida belongs to the municipality of Palma, so the licencia de obras comes from Palma city hall. Expect one to three months for a standard file and the ICIO construction tax of around 3-4 percent of the build cost.
Estate projects often bundle pool, landscaping and outbuildings into one licence, which takes longer but keeps the works coherent. The gated community adds its own access and site rules, which local builders know well.
