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. On Gran Canaria, almost everything happens in the south, from Maspalomas to Mogán, with an escape to Agaete in the north-west. Here are the 2 apartments I've selected on Gran Canaria, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Monte Rojo Oceanview apartment with heated pool and Grande piscine chauffée près de tout (Big Heated Pool).
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.
2 places shown
The pool. Two-bedroom apartment with free access to a large shared heated pool (25 × 15 m), open year-round, plus a children's pool.
The pool comes up in 7 guest reviews.
Guide's tip. The pool is shared with the complex: no privacy, but a proper pool for swimming.
The pool. Accommodation with access to a large pool heated in winter, according to the listing.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Get the heating dates confirmed.
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.
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 Monte Rojo Oceanview apartment with heated pool (Apartment · Airbnb), with 4.82/5 (17 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Grande piscine chauffée près de tout (Big Heated Pool) (4.81/5).
Yes at Monte Rojo Oceanview apartment with heated pool: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. At Grande piscine chauffée près de tout (Big Heated Pool), heating is seasonal (heated in winter). Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected on Gran Canaria gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
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.
