A large outdoor pool, a covered pool in the spa, or both: hotels are often the best equipped for a warm swim. In Belek, between golf courses and pine woods, the big resorts readily heat an outdoor pool or open their indoor pool. Here are the 14 hotels I've selected in Belek, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Gloria Verde Resort, ELA Excellence Resort Belek (ex-Ela Quality Resort) and Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa.
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 Gloria Verde Resort (Hotel), with 4.8/5 (1,096 reviews · Google (relayé par Antalya Tourist Information)). Next come ELA Excellence Resort Belek (ex-Ela Quality Resort) (4.8/5) and Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa (4.7/5).
Yes at Cornelia Diamond Golf Resort & Spa, Maxx Royal Belek Golf Resort and Calista Luxury Resort: the pool is advertised as heated all year round. At Gloria Verde Resort, ELA Excellence Resort Belek (ex-Ela Quality Resort) and Sueno Hotels Deluxe Belek, heating is seasonal (heated out of season). Susesi Luxury Resort, The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel and Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Belek gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
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.
