A small port facing the Greek island of Meis, Kaş draws divers and hikers with its ancient theatre, its flower-filled lanes and its Çukurbağ peninsula. Hotels in the centre rely on outdoor pools; for warm water, look instead to the villas on the peninsula and in the hinterland, several of which offer an indoor or heated pool. I've selected 5 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Villa Moonshine (4.93/5).
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 Villa Moonshine (House for rent · Airbnb), with 4.93/5 (28 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Villa Amare (4.85/5) and Blue Apart, Sea View & Private Heated Plunge Pool (4.78/5).
Yes at Villa Amare: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. At Villa Poseidon at Sea, heating is seasonal (heated out of season). Heated Indoor Pool, Sauna has an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Kaş gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes, 4 villas and holiday homes are selected: Villa Moonshine, Villa Amare and Heated Indoor Pool, Sauna. 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.
