Heated pool in Seville: swim without the shivers

Seville is one of the hottest cities in Europe in summer, but its winters are cool, and an unheated pool soon turns icy. Here are the houses, hotels and apartments with a heated pool for a warm swim out of season, from the historic centre to Triana. I've selected 8 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Maison de designer à Triana (4.97/5).

Frequently asked questions

What is the best place to stay with a heated pool in Seville?

Yes at Villa de luxe à Montequinto: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. At Maison de designer à Triana, heating is seasonal (heated october to may). Meliá Sevilla, Barceló Sevilla Renacimiento and Hotel Vértice Sevilla have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.

None of the places selected in Seville gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.

Yes, 2 villas and holiday homes are selected: Maison de designer à Triana and Villa de luxe à Montequinto. Heating is sometimes charged extra: check the listing.

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.
