How Much Does an Above-Ground Pool Cost in Miami? (2026 Pricing Guide)
If you're considering an above-ground pool for your Miami home, one of the first questions is simple: what will it actually cost? Unlike in-ground pools, where pricing can vary wildly and estimates are hard to pin down without a site visit, boutique above-ground pools come with more predictable, transparent pricing. Here's what to expect.
Starting price
Our Miami Model above-ground pool starts at $20,000, with a larger XL size available for those who want more swimming and lounging space. The size you choose depends mostly on your yard space and how you plan to use the pool: the standard size works well for lap swimming, relaxing, and smaller families, while the XL gives you more room to swim, entertain, or fit more people comfortably.
Exact pricing depends on the size and features you choose, so the best way to get an accurate number for your project is to request a quote.
What's included in the base price
This is where above-ground boutique pools stand out from a lot of alternatives. The base price already includes:
Interior ladder and interior bench for easy access and comfort
Filtration system (a monoblock unit that combines skimmer, pump, and selector valve in one)
LED lighting in your choice of white or multicolor RGB
Climate control
Wi-Fi home automation, so you can control filtration and lighting from your phone
A glass viewing panel
Installation — no separate line item, no contractor to hire
And critically for Florida buyers: no construction and no permits required. Because these are pre-fabricated, plug-and-play structures rather than in-ground builds, you skip the excavation, permitting delays, and months-long timelines that come with traditional pools.
Ways to customize your pool
Once you've picked your base model, there's a range of upgrades available to personalize your pool, including:
Extended glass for a larger viewing panel
Salt chlorination for lower-maintenance water care
Bubbles, a built-in jet feature
Railing for added safety and accessibility
Counter-current swimming, a swim-in-place jet system
Composite cladding in engineered wood, available in multiple finishes
A fully loaded pool with several of these upgrades will run above the starting price, so it's worth deciding early which features matter most to you. Salt chlorination and counter-current swimming tend to be the most popular add-ons, since they improve day-to-day comfort and usability rather than just aesthetics.
Composite cladding: worth the upgrade?
The composite (engineered wood) cladding is one of the most requested upgrades, and for good reason in Florida's climate. Unlike real wood, it resists moisture and won't warp, crack, or rot from constant water exposure, and it doesn't need sealing, painting, or regular chemical treatment. It's available in four finishes — Coffee, Mint, Chocolate, and Black — so you can match it to your outdoor design.
Why above-ground pools cost less than you'd expect
Traditional in-ground pool construction in Florida often starts well above these prices once you factor in excavation, permitting, decking, and months of labor. Above-ground boutique pools like this skip most of that cost structure because:
There's no excavation or structural construction
Permits generally aren't required
Installation is fast (plug-and-play), which cuts labor costs significantly
Pricing is fixed and transparent from the start, rather than depending on unpredictable site conditions

Final pricing depends on the size, finish, and features you choose for your pool.
