What does it cost to maintain a pool in Mallorca?
A pool is a pleasure, but it is not free to keep. Before you build, or buy a home with one, it helps to know the running costs. Here is what pool maintenance typically costs in Mallorca and what you get for it.
Monthly service costs
A regular maintenance visit from a professional usually costs in the region of €80 to €150 per month for a typical private pool, depending on size, frequency and what is included. Larger pools, weekly visits and holiday-rental properties sit at the higher end.
What is included
- Cleaning: skimming, brushing and vacuuming.
- Water testing and balancing the chemistry.
- Checking and cleaning filters and equipment.
- Topping up and reporting any issues early.
Other running costs
On top of service, budget for electricity (the pump and any heating), water top-ups, chemicals and the occasional repair or part. Efficient, well-sized equipment keeps these down, which is where modern pumps and a cover pay off.
DIY or a service contract?
You can maintain a pool yourself, and many owners do. But Mallorca’s hard water and strong sun make the chemistry harder to keep stable, and if you live abroad part of the year, a contract means the pool is always ready and small problems are caught early. For holiday rentals, reliable maintenance is essential for reviews and bookings.
