Every stay on this list is adults-only, so the pool belongs to people who came for a book and a lounger. The rule is the property's, and we check it hasn't changed.

Solar panels heat the pool at Mana EcoRetreat, and it stays open all year. It's a curved saltwater pool with an infinity edge, set on a pale terrace inside a Lanzarote garden of lava-stone dry walls, palms and subtropical plants, with the white suites around it and volcanic hills on the skyline.
Up on the roof of La Cort's spa, the infinity pool's glass edge drops away to the meadows and villages of Val Gardena, with the valley town below and peaks lined up beyond. It's outdoors, heated and open all year, so the view swaps green summer slopes for snow while the swim stays the same.
Think small and personal: one kidney-shaped pool sits at the heart of this eight-room hotel, with the guest buildings close around it. The water is heated saltwater and the pool is open all year, with a shallow end for easing in. Palms and potted plants soften the edges, and after dark underwater lights turn it a deep blue.
The heated freshwater pool wraps right around the main building, so the arcaded wings and palms are on one side of you and the gardens and the Atlantic on the other. It's outdoors, open all year and included in your stay, with sun loungers and umbrellas along its edges and a heated outdoor jacuzzi close by. Playa del Duque is about 300 metres away.
The infinity pool sits at the tip of a rocky headland, so the view from the water takes in 180 degrees of Mirabello Bay: islets, the mountains of eastern Crete and the open sea. Loungers are set into the shallow water itself, and below it all is the resort's own sandy cove. Three suite types add a pool of their own, and in the Infinity Lagoon Suites that pool opens onto a shared lagoon running along the rooms.
An 80-metre river pool winds between the River Villas at Royal River, under palms, and each of those villas opens from its own pool into it. The Pool and Grand Pool Villas have a private pool on the terrace instead, and the Lagoon Villas stand on stilts over a lake with direct access to the lagoon pool. Shared pools add to that: a rooftop infinity pool looking across the golf course to the Atlantic, and a main pool below. All outdoors, open all year and included in your stay.
An 11 by 4.5 metre outdoor pool sits on the lawn below the hotel, and from the water the view runs straight across the meadows to the Sciliar. It's heated all year: about 29°C in summer and 33°C in winter, when steam lifts off the surface and the garden around it is under snow. A cover keeps the heat in overnight.
The lagoon pool is the whole point here. It winds through the resort between palm islands and timber decks, with overwater bungalows and swim-up rooms stepping straight down into it. A sunken round lounge sits in the middle of the water, and the buffet restaurant has a wooden deck reaching out over it. For cooler days, the Anassa Spa adds a heated indoor pool.
Ten suites line up along one long, narrow pool here, and the ground-floor terraces open almost straight onto it. The water is heated saltwater and the pool stays open all year, so a January swim in Maspalomas is part of the deal. Grey daybeds sit right at the edge, palms lean over a curved stone wall, and an outdoor rain shower waits in a timber alcove beside the water.
The pool at El Palmital curves across a green lawn, with a shallow, beach-style edge that slopes gently into the water under tall palms. It's heated and open all year, which is exactly what you want from a Gran Canaria winter, and the low white bungalows with their red-tiled roofs sit close around it. A sunken seating area is set into the grass beside the water.
The main pool is a proper 25-metre one: 25 by 17 metres, heated to 28°C and open from 07:00 to 20:00, with a roped swimming lane along one side and a sloping, wheelchair-accessible entry. Palms and low white bungalows frame it on every side. A second, 14-metre pool sits in the outdoor Zen Spa, kept at 35°C, with jets and waterfalls.
Every room here has its own pool, set into a furnished terrace, and from the sea-view suites you look out over the rooftops of Chania towards the sea. It's water a few steps from your bed, for a morning dip or a swim after dark. Down in the spa there's a second option: a heated indoor saltwater pool with water cascades, beside a large jacuzzi.
From the infinity pool at Seaside you look out over the Cretan Sea, with the resort stepping down a rocky headland above Mononaftis Bay. Three outdoor pool areas spread across the terraces, a rooftop pool among them, all ringed by palms, timber cabanas and thatched parasols. The Action pool by the Pelagos bar was renovated with saltwater.
Acro's main pool is a saltwater infinity pool set into the cliff above Mononaftis Bay, on Crete's north coast. The edge runs out towards the Cretan Sea, with a terrace of flat loungers and a shaded cabana at one end and the resort's stone-and-earth suites stepping down the rock behind it. It's an outdoor, seasonal pool, and there's a second, indoor pool for cooler days.
The Atlantic fills the view from the rooftop infinity pool at Royal Hideaway, its edge lining up with the sea, with daybeds set on platforms in the water and a timber deck all around. Below, in front of the white terraced facade, the main outdoor pool sits among lawns. Both outdoor pools are saltwater, heated and open all year, with loungers, umbrellas, and pool and beach towels.
Four outdoor pools spread across the terraces between the resort's stepped white wings, with the Atlantic beyond the glass balustrades and Playa Bastián at the edge of the grounds. Two of them are heated and the main pool is open all year. One has an infinity edge facing the sea, and some suites have swim-up access straight from their terrace.
Up on the hill above Puerto del Carmen, the pool terrace looks out past palms to the Atlantic. The main outdoor pool is open all year and heated in winter, and a small dynamic pool beside it adds a little waterfall and hydromassage jets, heated through the cooler months too. Some suites go further, with a private pool just off the terrace.
From November to mid-April, the three outdoor pools at Sunprime Atlantic View are heated to around 25°C, and they stay open all year. Together they add up to more than 700 m² of water, at 222, 239 and 289 m², set in a palm garden below the white suite blocks. Some pools have wide walk-in steps, and the Prime Pool Suites open straight onto the water.
Behind the walls of a 12th-century castle, the outdoor pool sits in an old botanic garden, with the castle on one side and the mountains around Merano beyond the trees. A whirlpool bench at one end gives you a bubble bath in the open air. It's a summer pool, open from May to September: in the colder months the swimming moves indoors.
White hotel blocks wrap around a curving pool at Coral Suites, with terracotta paving, palms at the edges and a poolside bar close at hand. It's outdoors, heated and open all year, with a shallow end for easing in, and the Nuevo restaurant looks straight over the water.
Two long outdoor pools run down the middle of the hotel between rows of palms and white loungers, with the sea at the far end and the low white wings of the building on either side. One of them has an infinity edge, and the main pool stays open all year. Indoors, the wellness centre has a third pool: a heated pool under a blue-lit vaulted ceiling, with a sauna, a steam bath and sensation showers around it.
Built into the volcanic cliff at Agaete, the hotel steps down in white terraces to two outdoor pools. The long one runs in front of the room blocks with the Atlantic just past the glass railing; the second, curved pool comes with its own round hot tub. There's a heated pool open all year, so a winter swim is on the cards.
