Renting a whole villa or house means having the heated pool to yourself, with family or friends. In Puerto de la Cruz, on the north coast, the air is cooler than in the south, so a heated pool is a real asset. Here are the 3 villas and holiday homes I've selected in Puerto de la Cruz, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Villa de luxe à Puerto de la Cruz avec piscine, Villa to Relax, private heated pool and Villa Artigar.
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.

Guide's tip. Get the host to confirm that the pool will be heated on your dates, and at what price.
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 Villa de luxe à Puerto de la Cruz avec piscine (Villa for rent · Airbnb), with 4.98/5 (103 reviews · Airbnb). Next come Villa to Relax, private heated pool (4.91/5) and Villa Artigar (4.87/5).
None of the places selected in Puerto de la Cruz clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
None of the places selected in Puerto de la Cruz 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.
