Heated pool in Ouarzazate: swim without the shivers

Ouarzazate, gateway to the desert and home to film studios, has very cold nights in winter. I haven't yet found a place where a reliable source confirms that the pool is a heated pool.

The places

Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

Ouarzazate: selection coming soon

I haven't yet found a place in Ouarzazate with a confirmed heated pool and a rating of at least 8/10. Meanwhile, here are the cities where you can enjoy a warm swim.

Other places

How I check

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.

Confirmed by guests

Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.

Confirmed by a reviewer

A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.

Advertised only

The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.

Indoor pool

Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.

Places I left out

I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
