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 Alanya, indoor pools are tucked away in the hotels of the west coast, from Avsallar to Konaklı. For now, only one place of this type meets my criteria in Alanya: Villa de luxe avec piscine chauffée, jacuzzi et vue mer.
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.

The pool. Entire villa with a heated pool and jacuzzi, according to the listing title.
The hot tub. Jacuzzi advertised.
I haven't yet found guest reviews that mention the water temperature.
Guide's tip. The rating is based on only a few reviews: ask about the heating period and any extra cost.
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 only place selected is Villa de luxe avec piscine chauffée, jacuzzi et vue mer (Villa for rent · Airbnb), with 4.4/5 (5 reviews · Airbnb).
None of the places selected in Alanya clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Alanya gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Villa de luxe avec piscine chauffée, jacuzzi et vue mer also has a hot tub in addition to the heated pool.
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.
