A white village at the foot of its acropolis, Lindos overlooks the south-east coast of Rhodes, which is quieter than the north. Further south, Kiotari and Lachania line up large seafront hotels. The selection here includes indoor spa pools and suites with their own heated pool. I've selected 7 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas (4.9/5).
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.

I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.

A guest in May 2026 notes that one of the three pools is indoors. No reviews mention the water temperature.

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 Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas (Hotel), with 4.9/5 (4,214 reviews · TripAdvisor). Next come Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites (4.9/5) and Villa Crystal in Lindos with private HEATED pool (4.9/5).
None of the places selected in Lindos clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas, Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites and Lindos Grand Resort & Spa - Adults Only have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Lindos gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Lindos Blu Luxury Hotel & Suites and Ikaros Villa also have a hot tub in addition to the heated pool.
Yes, 2 villas and holiday homes are selected: Villa Crystal in Lindos with private HEATED pool and Ikaros Villa. 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.
