An apartment with a heated pool gives you the freedom of a rental with the pleasure of a comfortable swim. In the Pyrenees, you swim in warm water at balneotherapy residences, resort hotels with indoor pools and spas with jacuzzis. Here are the 2 apartments I've selected in the Pyrenees, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Cami Réal – appartement avec piscine intérieure chauffée and Garden & City Cauterets Balnéo.
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. Apartment in a residence with a heated indoor pool, according to the listing.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. The pool is shared by the residence: ask about its opening hours and closure periods.
The pool. Heated indoor pool with sauna, hammam and ice fountain (Staycation), and a hot tub in the wellness area (ViaMichelin).
The hot tub. Hot tub in the wellness area.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. A residence with kitchens, close to the thermal baths and the ski lifts: check the opening hours of the balneotherapy area.
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 Cami Réal – appartement avec piscine intérieure chauffée (Apartment · Airbnb), with 4.88/5 (146 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Garden & City Cauterets Balnéo (8.0/10).
None of the places selected in the Pyrenees clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Cami Réal – appartement avec piscine intérieure chauffée and Garden & City Cauterets Balnéo have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in the Pyrenees gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Garden & City Cauterets Balnéo 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.
