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 Fethiye and Ölüdeniz, the villas in the hills of Hisarönü vie with each other for indoor and heated pools. Here are the 7 villas and holiday homes I've selected in Fethiye and Ölüdeniz, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Autumn Escape w/ Indoor Heated Pool & Spa, Villa Neo Fethiye and Ashta / Minimal Suite with indoor heated pool.
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 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 Autumn Escape w/ Indoor Heated Pool & Spa (Villa for rent · Airbnb), with 4.94/5 (17 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Villa Neo Fethiye (4.92/5) and Ashta / Minimal Suite with indoor heated pool (4.88/5).
None of the places selected in Fethiye and Ölüdeniz clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. At Loft-Style Stone Villa with Heated Pool, heating is seasonal (heated october to december). Autumn Escape w/ Indoor Heated Pool & Spa, Ashta / Minimal Suite with indoor heated pool and Es House 3 have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Fethiye and Ölüdeniz gives a precise temperature. Ask the property before booking, especially out of season.
Yes: Villa Neo Fethiye 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.
