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. In Málaga, villas with a heated pool are mostly up in the hills, a few minutes from the beach and the centre. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in Málaga: Malaga Towers, appartement avec piscine intérieure chauffée.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.

In my selection, the only place selected is Malaga Towers, appartement avec piscine intérieure chauffée (Apartment · Airbnb), with 4.94/5 (33 reviews · Airbnb).
Yes at Malaga Towers, appartement avec piscine intérieure chauffée: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Málaga gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Duplex 2B avec terrasse et jacuzzi privé, Apartamentos Spa del Palacete and « A little love story », appartement avec jacuzzi en terrasse.
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.
