The Jura massif runs from the vineyards of Arbois and Poligny to the lake district, then on to mid-mountain resorts such as Les Rousses or Métabief. At altitude, temperatures stay cool for much of the year and snow lingers on the high plateaus. We've selected a few characterful hotels with indoor pools and, above all, resort chalets and apartments with heated pools. I've selected 11 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Red Heart – maison 3 chambres (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.

In my selection, the top-rated is Red Heart – maison 3 chambres (House for rent · Airbnb), with 4.96/5 (82 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Appartement skis aux pieds 54 m² (4.96/5) and Bali Suite by Travel Suites (4.92/5).
Yes at The Lodge – villa, piscine privée chauffée: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. At Appartement en résidence, piscine intérieure, heating is seasonal (closed january to march). Red Heart – maison 3 chambres, Bali Suite by Travel Suites and Appartement en résidence, piscine intérieure 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 Jura gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Bali Suite by Travel Suites also has a hot tub in addition to the heated pool. No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Gîte 3 étoiles « 5 cépages » avec jacuzzi, Aqua House – spa privé, jacuzzi et hammam and Appartement cosy avec jacuzzi, terrasse et jardin.

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.
