Renting an apartment means living at your own pace. When the building has a heated pool, swimming joins the programme, whatever the season. In Méribel, indoor pools are hidden in the spas of hotels in the centre and in Mottaret, at the foot of the Trois Vallées slopes. Here are the 2 apartments I've selected in Méribel, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium L'Hévana and Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium Les Fermes de Méribel.
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. Indoor pool and outdoor jacuzzi, mentioned by guests. Heating isn't specified.
The hot tub. Outdoor jacuzzi.
One family says their children loved the indoor pool and the open-air jacuzzi. I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. The jacuzzi is outdoors: save it for when you're back from the slopes and the air turns chilly.
The pool. Indoor pool advertised as heated, open access in the relaxation area, with a sauna (adults) and fitness room. Deep Nature spa at extra cost.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. The sauna is for adults only; children can only use the pool.
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 Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium L'Hévana (Residence · apartments), with 8.8/10 (225 reviews · Booking.com). Next come Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium Les Fermes de Méribel (4.2/5).
None of the places selected in Méribel clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium L'Hévana and Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium Les Fermes de Méribel have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Méribel gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Résidence Pierre & Vacances Premium L'Hévana also has a hot tub in addition to the heated pool.
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.
