Pool prices in Cyprus: building, care and repairs

What building a pool in Cyprus involves

Also called: pool construction · pool builders · pool companies · fiberglass / fibreglass pool · prefab pool · infinity pool

A new pool needs planning and building permits. Builders here usually allow 4 to 12 weeks for the permit and 3 to 5 months from the application to a pool you can swim in; adding a pool to an existing house can take longer. A pool without a permit can hold up title deeds, a mortgage or a sale.

Most pools on the island are reinforced concrete with a skimmer: the water sits a few centimetres below the edge and the skimmers in the wall take leaves and dust off the top. In an overflow (infinity) pool the water comes up to the brim and runs over the edge into a channel and a balance tank; it costs about half as much again for the same size. A prefab fiberglass (fibreglass) shell arrives in one piece on a truck and goes in faster, but only in sizes that fit on the road and through your gate.

The size sets the base of the price and the plot moves it. Can a digger reach the spot, or does the earth come out by hand? Is it soil or rock under the garden? Does the pool sit on a slope that needs a retaining wall? Heating, a cover, lights, a salt system and the paving around it come on top. That is why a serious company gives a range first and a fixed price only after it has seen the site.

The form here asks the size, skimmer or overflow, concrete or prefab, the extras and whether machinery can get in, with "Not sure" on every technical question. Then you pick a time for a site visit, a pool builder who works in your area comes to measure, and you get their quote. You agree the price with the builder and pay them directly.

Skimmer, overflow or prefab

Concrete, skimmer
The usual villa pool on the island. Any size and shape; the water sits a few centimetres below the edge
Concrete, overflow (infinity)
Water level with the edge, a channel round it and a balance tank. About 50% more than a skimmer pool of the same size; makes sense on a slope or facing a view
Prefab fiberglass shell
One piece, goes in faster. Sizes limited by road transport and the way into the garden; often lifted in by crane
Above-ground pool
About €3,300–5,700 for one 9 m across. No digging

Questions

How much does a pool cost in Cyprus?

An 8×4 m concrete pool with a skimmer usually comes to €25,000–45,000, a 10×5 m to €44,000–63,000 and a small 4×3 m to €15,000–22,000 (a property portal's August 2026 figures). Overflow adds about half again, and decking, a fence, lights or a cover add €2,000–10,000. The builder's quote after the site visit is the price that counts.

How long does it take to build a pool?

Builders on the island usually quote 3 to 5 months from the permit application to a finished pool, and 4 to 12 weeks of that is the permit. Ask the builder for their own timeline at the site visit.

Do I need a permit for a pool?

Yes. A new pool needs planning and building permits; you apply, usually through your architect or the builder. A pool without one can hold up title deeds, a loan or a sale.

Concrete or a prefab fiberglass pool?

Concrete for any size or shape and for an overflow edge. A fiberglass shell goes in faster but only in sizes that travel by road; owners report about €10,000 + VAT for a 6×3 m shell.

I don't know the size or type yet. Can I still ask?

Yes. Pick "Not sure" and the builder advises on the visit. Photos of the garden and of the way in help them come prepared.
