Saltwater infinity pools have become the ultimate symbol of Mediterranean luxury. On the Costa Blanca, where the blue horizon is the protagonist, the pool cannot simply be a closed rectangle; it must be a mirror that dialogues with the landscape.

At La Quinta Fachada, we understand that the pool is the centre of summer life. That is why we commit to the fusion of two concepts that elevate the bathing experience: the aesthetics of the “vanishing edge” and the health benefits of salt chlorination.

The art of the vanishing edge: More than just a pool

The “infinity” or overflow design is an architectural visual trick that never fails to impress. By allowing the water to spill over one or more sides, we eliminate the visual barrier of the edge.

The result is magical: from inside the water, the pool line merges with the line of the sea or the sky. In villas located at a height, such as in Altea Hills or Cumbres del Sol, saltwater infinity pools create the sensation of floating in the air.

Technique and precision: This design requires impeccable technical execution by the architect. It is necessary to calculate the level to the millimetre so that the sheet of water is perfect, and to design a hidden collection channel that maintains a clean aesthetic.

Health and comfort: Why choose saltwater

Design appeals to the eyes, but comfort is felt on the skin. Forget the smell of chemical chlorine and red eyes. Salt chlorination is the gold standard for modern luxury pools.

How do saltwater infinity pools work?

It is not seawater (which has a very high salt content), but water with a light concentration of common salt. Through a process of electrolysis, that salt is converted into a powerful and, most importantly, odourless natural disinfectant.

Immediate benefits:

Silky skin: Saline water acts as a gentle natural antiseptic. It does not dry out the skin or damage hair; on the contrary, it leaves a soft feeling.
Goodbye to bees: As there is no strong chemical odour, wasps and bees are less attracted to the water.
Sustainability: Maintenance is simpler and more eco-friendly, as the use of harsh chemical products is drastically reduced.

Materials and atmosphere in saltwater infinity pools

For the effect to be complete, the choice of material for the pool tank is crucial.

Large format porcelain: Gone are the days of small blue mosaic tiles. Today we use large porcelain pieces in sand, pale turquoise, or grey stone tones. These colours achieve a much more natural and elegant Caribbean blue or emerald green water colour.
Night-time lighting: The pool takes on a second life at night. We design integrated LED lighting that makes the water glow from within, turning saltwater infinity pools into a sculptural lantern that decorates the garden while you dine.

An oasis designed for you

Having a pool is common; having a private oasis is exclusive. The combination of the vanishing architectural design with salt chlorination technology transforms the simple act of bathing into an experience of well-being.
