Agaete, in north-west Gran Canaria, is a white village at the foot of a green valley where they even grow coffee. Far from the big resorts, it's the ideal spot for a quiet rental with a heated pool. I've selected 4 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is The best natural place in Gran Canaria - Heated pool (4.96/5).
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.

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 The best natural place in Gran Canaria - Heated pool (House for rent · Airbnb), with 4.96/5 (78 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Cottage de montagne avec piscine chauffée (4.96/5) and Occidental Roca Negra – Adults Only (8.6/10).
None of the places selected in Agaete clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Hotel Puerto de las Nieves has an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Agaete gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Occidental Roca Negra – Adults Only and Hotel Puerto de las Nieves also have a hot tub in addition to the heated pool.
Yes, 2 villas and holiday homes are selected: The best natural place in Gran Canaria - Heated pool and Cottage de montagne avec piscine chauffée. Heating is sometimes charged extra: check the listing.
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.
