With an apartment, the pool is often shared with the residence, sometimes private on the terrace. Either way, I only list the ones where the water is heated. Around Alicante, the selection stretches along the Costa Blanca, from Benidorm to Arenales del Sol. Here are the 3 apartments I've selected in Alicante, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Appartement en front de mer à Mascarat, Appartement de luxe à Mascarat Beach and Appartement Infinity View.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.

The pool. The complex's infinity pool, heated during the winter months according to the listing. The complex also has jacuzzis.
The hot tub. Jacuzzis in the complex (heating not specified).
The pool comes up in 2 guest reviews. I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Few reviews so far: get the heating period confirmed before you book.
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
The hot tub. Jacuzzi on the terrace, right on the seafront. Heating not specified.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Ask the host whether the jacuzzi is heated and usable in winter before you book.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is Appartement en front de mer à Mascarat (Apartment · Airbnb), with 4.96/5 (118 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Appartement de luxe à Mascarat Beach (4.95/5) and Appartement Infinity View (5.0/5).
None of the places selected in Alicante clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. At Appartement Infinity View, heating is seasonal (heated in winter). Appartement en front de mer à Mascarat has an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Alicante gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Appartement de luxe à Mascarat Beach and Appartement Infinity View also have a hot tub in addition to the heated pool. No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Appartement front de mer avec jacuzzi.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
