Heated pool in Saint-Tropez: swim without the shivers

Saint-Tropez is a former fishing port at the head of its gulf, surrounded by the beaches of the peninsula. Many of its hotels only open from late spring to early autumn. The selection keeps the places in the village and its immediate surroundings whose pool is advertised as heated, some of them all year round. I've selected 5 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Hôtel de Paris Saint-Tropez (9.4/10).

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
