Tangier looks out over both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, on the edge of the Strait of Gibraltar. The wind blows often here, and winters are mild but damp. Here are the places with a heated pool, from the historic hotels of the city centre to a private villa. I've selected 5 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is La Barca, piscine chauffée, jacuzzi et vue mer (4.95/5).
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 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 La Barca, piscine chauffée, jacuzzi et vue mer (Entire home · Airbnb), with 4.95/5 (63 comments · Airbnb). Next come Grand Hotel Villa de France (8.8/10) and Royal Tulip City Center (8.8/10).
None of the places selected in Tangier clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Grand Hotel Villa de France, Royal Tulip City Center and El Minzah Hotel have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Tangier gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: La Barca, piscine chauffée, jacuzzi et vue mer, Royal Tulip City Center and El Minzah Hotel also have a hot tub in addition to the heated pool. No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Villa Fares, piscine et jacuzzi, Dar Tanja and Triplex avec jacuzzi chauffé, centre-ville.
Yes, one villa is selected: La Barca, piscine chauffée, jacuzzi et vue mer. 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.
