Torrevieja’s indoor pool is currently closed
The indoor pool page says it is “closed until further notice for repairs”. On 5 June 2026 the town hall said that, after a ventilation duct came down inside the pool, it had started the process of replacing the system: the new duct will no longer run over the water. The town hall has not given a reopening date. Separately, on 14 August 2026 the project for a new 25 × 12.5 m heated pool next to the Sports Palace was approved, with a planned construction period of 18 months.
