A villa all to yourself, with its own pool: the dream, as long as the water is heated. Heating is sometimes extra, and I say so on each listing. In Agaete, in the green valley of the north-west, you rent a quiet house far from the resorts of the south. Here are the 2 villas and holiday homes I've selected in Agaete, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend The best natural place in Gran Canaria - Heated pool and Cottage de montagne avec piscine chauffée.
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.
2 places shown
The pool. Heated private pool with views over the valley, for a four-bedroom house (sleeps up to 10).
The pool comes up in 41 guest reviews.
Guide's tip. Agaete is cooler than the south of the island: get the heating period confirmed before you book.
The pool. Mountain house with heated pool and views, according to the listing's title.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. Ask whether heating is included or costs extra, and from what date it runs.
These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
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 The best natural place in Gran Canaria - Heated pool (House for rent · Airbnb), with 4.96/5 (78 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Cottage de montagne avec piscine chauffée (4.96/5).
None of the places selected in Agaete clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Agaete 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.
