The Pool Dream Becomes Reality
On Cyprus a pool is standard, not luxury. Thousands of villas have one. Costs lower than expected. 200+ usable days. But running costs (maintenance, chemicals, electricity) are underestimated.
Construction Costs
Standard pool (8×4m): €15,000-25,000. Premium: €25,000-50,000+. Above-ground: €3,000-8,000. Build time: 4-8 weeks. Permit required (4-8 weeks processing). Without permit: illegal, fines, problems selling.
