LED lighting in every model: any pool in this gallery can be built with white LED lights or RGB colour lights that change colour from the remote or your phone. Tell us how many lights you want and in what colour. Can't see exactly what you're after? We mix ideas: the shape of one, the colour of another and the steps of a third. Tell us using the references. Reference images: not all are MURES projects.
Most common concrete pool sizes
A concrete pool is built to measure, but these are the sizes we build most in the Axarquía and Málaga. The usual depth is 1.20 to 1.60 m, or with a step and a deeper area.
| Size | Water surface | Who it's for | Ideal for | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 × 2.5 m | 10 m² | Cooling off for two | Terraces and small patios | REF. MP06 |
| 6 × 3 m | 18 m² | A couple or small family | Townhouses and small plots | REF. MP03 |
| 7 × 3.5 m | About 25 m² | Family of 4 | The all-rounder | REF. MP04 |
| 8 × 4 m | 32 m² | Family and friends | The most requested at villas | REF. MP01 |
| 10 × 5 m | 50 m² | Large families and swimming | Large plots | REF. MP02 |
| 12 × 2.5 m | 30 m² | Swimming lengths | Long, narrow plots | REF. MP08 |
And the price? It depends on the size, the excavation, the access and the finish. In concrete swimming pool construction we explain what it depends on and there's a rough calculator. The surveyor gives you the fixed price after the visit.
Modern pool colours: how the water looks
The colour of the lining completely changes the colour of the water. For each colour you can see the tile and, next to it, how the water looks in the southern light:
White gresite
Turquoise water, like a Caribbean beach. It's the brightest colour.
Sky blue
The classic pool blue. It never goes out of fashion and hides dirt well.
Dark blue
Deeper, more elegant water. Lovely with white houses.
Aqua green
Blends in with the mountains, olive trees and terraces.
Sand
Turquoise-green water, like a cove. Ideal with a beach entry.
Gresite or porcelain? Gresite is the traditional small tile: it adapts to curves and steps and comes in a thousand colours. Large-format porcelain gives a more modern, seamless look and matches the terrace. We explain it in depth in swimming pool construction.
We'll show you how the pool would look in your garden
Choose the reference, upload a photo of your garden, patio or terrace and we'll send you a rough mock-up with the pool in place. Free and with no obligation. Then, if you like it, the surveyor comes to measure up.
Your chosen model
You haven't chosen one yet. Click «See it in my garden» on any model in the gallery or choose it in the form.
For a good mock-up
- Take the photo in daylight, from where you would see the pool (the terrace or the front door).
- Make sure the whole area is visible: the ground, the walls and what's around it.
- If you can, send two: one from further away and one closer up.

Pool model FAQs
What people ask us most before choosing a concrete pool.
Did you build these pools yourselves?
Not all of them. The photos on this page are reference images of models we can build. They help you choose the shape, size, colour and finish without having to explain it. We build the model you choose, adapted to your plot and your budget.
Can you build any of these models?
Yes. They can all be built in reinforced concrete or gunite, with gresite or porcelain. Curved and freeform shapes are built in gunite. What the surveyor adjusts on the visit are the measurements, depth and position according to your ground and the access.
How do I tell you which pool I want?
Each photo has a reference, for example REF. MP01. Tell us the reference by WhatsApp, by phone or in the form on this page. You can also mix: the shape of one reference and the colour of another.
How does the mock-up of the pool in my garden work?
You choose the reference and upload a photo of where the pool would go. We send that same photo back with the pool in place, so you can see how it would look. It's a rough guide and free; the real measurements are set by the surveyor on the visit.
What size concrete pool do I need?
For two people cooling off, a 4 × 2.5 or 6 × 3 m pool is enough. For a family of four, 7 × 3.5 or 8 × 4 m, which is the most requested size. If you want to swim, 10 × 5 m or a long, narrow lap pool is better. It also depends on how much terrace space you want to leave.
Which pool colour should I choose?
White gresite gives turquoise water, sky blue is the classic, dark blue gives deeper, more elegant water, green blends in with the countryside and sand gives cove-coloured water. Grey porcelain is the most modern, with blue-green water. In the colours section you'll find examples of each.
Can you build a small concrete pool in a patio?
Yes, as long as the small machinery can get in or it can be dug by hand and the structure of the house allows it. 4 × 2.5 m mini pools or 5 × 2.5 m patio pools are very common in village houses and townhouses. We assess it on the visit.
What is an overflow or infinity pool?
It's a pool where the water spills over one or more edges into a hidden channel, so from outside the water seems to merge with the landscape. On Axarquía hillsides with sea views they look spectacular. They have a balance tank and a somewhat more complex installation.
Do you build pools on sloping plots?
Yes, it's our speciality. Because we also do earthworks and escollera rock walls, we prepare the platform, hold up the hillside and build the pool. Semi-buried and overflow pools make the best use of the slope.
How much does an 8 × 4 concrete pool cost?
It depends on the excavation (soil or rock), machinery access, the lining, the steps and the equipment. On our swimming pool construction page we explain what the price depends on and there's a rough calculator. We give you the fixed price in writing after the visit.
Can LED lighting be fitted in the pool?
Yes, in any of the models. White LED lights or RGB colour lights that change colour from a remote or your phone can be fitted. The norm is one or two lights on each long side, depending on the size. Tell us when you ask for a quote and we'll include it.
Concrete or prefabricated pool?
A concrete pool is built to measure, with the shape, size and finish you want, and lasts for many, many years. A prefabricated pool comes in fixed sizes and needs a crane or a large lorry to get in. On sloping plots or with special shapes, concrete is the way to go.
Which areas do you build pools in?
From Málaga city (east side) to Almuñécar and La Herradura: Rincón de la Victoria, Torre del Mar, Vélez-Málaga, Algarrobo, Torrox, Nerja, Frigiliana, Cómpeta and the whole inland Axarquía. For now we don't work west of Málaga city.
