The villa's private pool runs along a pale deck beside the white pergola, with a wall of dark lava stone closing off the garden behind it and the volcanic hills around Yaiza rising beyond. It's a saltwater pool, heated and open all year, and it has its own cover.
Twelve metres above the meadow, the Sky Pool at Hotel Hubertus juts out from the hillside like a wing: a 25-metre infinity pool with a glass front onto the Pusteria valley and a window set into its floor, so you can look straight down at the grass below. It's heated to 33°C all year round and open from 7:00 to 19:30, and on a cold morning the steam lifts off the water against the Dolomites.
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.
Gran Tubla's heated pool runs from inside to out. The indoor half sits under a ceiling of hanging wooden slats, with loungers along a wall of glass, then the water carries on past a glass partition to an outdoor section on a timber deck, finished with an infinity edge. From there the view opens over Ortisei to the Sella group and Sassolungo. It's open all year, from 09:00 to 20:00.
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 view from the Alpine Sky Pool runs across Val Gardena and over the rooftops of Ortisei, up to the peaks of Seceda and the Sella massif. It's an outdoor infinity pool, heated and open all year, and long enough for an easy swim with the panorama in front of you. In winter the water steams against the snow on the terraces.
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.
Kolfuschgerhof has two pools. The indoor pool is 14 m long and kept between 26 and 30°C, with a ledge to rest on, and the rooftop infinity pool outside, 12 x 5 m and heated, looks out over snow-laden trees, timber chalet walls and the rock faces of the Dolomites. Both are free to use, open all year and open to all ages, and in summer the same water sits between green lawns and grey peaks.
Every one of the 28 villas has its own heated pool on a private terrace, and from the water you look across the Costa Adeje golf course to the Atlantic. Several pools run to an infinity edge above the fairways; others sit beside a Balinese-style gazebo or a canopied daybed. They're open all year and included in the stay.
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.
Behind a white single-storey house in Ingenio, the garden is yours alone: a private saltwater pool, heated and open all year, set into a green lawn with the hills in view beyond the fence. Steps lead down into the water at one end, and after dark the underwater lights turn the tiles a bright turquoise.
AMA Stay's rooftop pool is one heated infinity pool in two halves: it starts under a timber ceiling behind floor-to-ceiling glass and carries on into the open air, with the Kronplatz slopes and the peaks above San Vigilio reflected in the water. It's open all year, daily from 9:00 to 20:00, and on a winter morning the outdoor end steams against the snow.
Arched windows and white columns line Kastel's indoor pool, with a painted mural running the length of one wall. The water is kept at about 30°C, there's a water jet and a whirlpool at the edge, and the pool is open all year. Children get two adventure pools of their own, with pool toys and a water slide.
Tall glass walls frame the main pool at Skamnos, so you swim lengths with pine trees and the Parnassos mountainside just outside. It's an indoor saltwater pool, heated and open all year, under a white timber roof, with lane lines on the tiles, a shallow end and loungers along the windows. A second indoor pool sits alongside.
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.
The beach is right there: Lava Beach sits on the promenade above Matagorda's dark volcanic sand, and its two freshwater pools curve between palms and white loungers just back from the sea. Both are heated all year, usually to around 26°C, and there's a shallow kids' pool beside them. Water massage loungers line part of the edge.
At 1,600 m on the Monte Pana plateau, the indoor pool is heated and open all year, with the Sassolungo filling a wall of windows: in winter you swim with snow on the other side of the glass. It's free for guests and open daily from 07:00 to 20:00, and a separate indoor children's pool next to it has toys and room to splash. Both take all ages.
Two outdoor pools curl through the gardens between the hotel and the beach, with the sea beyond the loungers. The White Sand Lagoon Spiral is 1.4 m deep, and the Tropical Green Lake, 1.55 m deep, is designed to be accessible for guests with reduced mobility. Both run with the hotel season, from 15 April to 9 November. Inside the Coral Wellness spa there's a heated indoor pool, 1.2 m deep, beside a hot tub.
Skylights in a pitched white timber roof throw squares of sunlight onto the water at Santa Marina, and stone walls and wood-framed windows run around the pool hall. The pool itself is large, indoors, heated and open all year, with a view out and loungers set against the stone.
From the deck you look straight out over green slopes to the Cretan Sea. Each stone villa here has its own outdoor pool, fenced, with a shallow end and a long lounging terrace alongside. The pool is heated and open all year: the heating lifts the water 6 to 8 degrees above the day's average air temperature, up to 29°C.
From the pool terrace you look out over the rooftops of Puerto del Carmen to the sea. The pool belongs to the villa alone: a heated saltwater pool with rounded steps at one end, open all year and fitted with a pool cover. A painted mural runs along the terrace wall, and loungers line the paving around the water.
From high up in Torviscas Alto, the main pool looks down over the rooftops of Costa Adeje to the Atlantic, its curved edge set into a pale stone terrace with palms and canopied daybeds around it. It's outdoors, heated and open all year, with a shallow end, a plunge pool and a separate kids' pool alongside.
Spinalonga and its Venetian fortress sit just across the water, and the pools of Domes of Elounda step down the hillside towards the sandy beach of Driros. Families get their own outdoor pools with a shallow kids' pool, there's an adults-only pool, the 16+ Chora complex has a pool with the closest view of the island, and the spa has an indoor seawater pool. Many suites, residences and villas add a private pool; the rest have an outdoor hot tub.
At the centre of Flamingo Suites, the pool sits on a pale tiled sun terrace, with curved white buildings and tall windows facing in on it from every side. It's outdoors, heated and open all year, with a plunge pool and a kids' pool alongside, and La Pinta Beach is only 100 metres away when you fancy the sea instead.
Palm trees and a Thai-style pavilion frame the main pool at the Botánico, set in large gardens with views of the Atlantic and Mount Teide. It's outdoors, heated to 26°C and open all year, ringed with red parasols and loungers, and it's the pool everyone can use. A kids' pool with a plunge pool sits nearby, and a third outdoor pool is kept for adults, with set opening times.
From the adults-only rooftop infinity pool at the Majestic, the water runs out towards green fields, the Puster Valley and the mountains beyond. Below it are four more pools: a heated outdoor pool, an indoor pool with a water slide, an indoor kids' pool, and the main indoor pool among stone columns, which is heated, free, open all year and open to all ages.
Palm trees on one side, snow-capped mountains on the other: the rooftop infinity pool at Therme Meran is a heated saltwater pool, open all year, with the centre of Merano going about its day below you. Loungers and parasols line the deck, and there's a pool bar.
The outdoor pool sits on the spa terrace above San Candido, heated to 31°C and open all year, with the jagged Baranci group rising directly behind it. In winter the water steams against the snow and the village lies below you; in summer the deck around it fills with loungers. Inside the spa there's an indoor pool as well, for a swim whatever the weather is doing.
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.
In Valdaora, this family-run aparthotel has four pools to choose from. The everyday one is indoors: heated, open all year and free, with a raised stone surround, a shallow end and a round lit panel in the ceiling above. Children have their own indoor pool with toys, there's a fourth indoor pool, and outside, behind a fence, an infinity pool kept for adults looks across the lawn to the mountains.
Kronplatz fills the view from the rooftop infinity pool, and the gondola up the mountain starts less than 100 metres from the door. It's heated and open all year, so it works as well on a summer afternoon as after a winter day on the slopes. The second pool is a 25-metre sports pool, made for proper lengths.
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.
A broad, many-sided outdoor pool fills the middle of RIU Garoé's 2,800 m² tropical garden, with the hotel's wings wrapped around it. It's open all year and heated in winter, and a fenced kids' pool sits alongside it.
Four outdoor pools wind through palms and dark volcanic rock here, and the one to head for is the main infinity pool: saltwater, heated and open all year, its edge running out towards the Atlantic. It has a shallow end, a pool bar within reach and pool toys for younger swimmers. Around it sit a kids' pool with a plunge pool, a third pool for all ages, a fourth with set opening times and a water slide.
Seventeen freshwater pools spread through Creta Maris, from the big main pools above Hersonissos beach to five kids' pools and a 4,000 m² waterpark with slides, aqua tower pools and river rapids. The heated ones set the tone for spring and autumn: the indoor pool, the heated outdoor pools in the Terra family area, and three heated East Pools inside the Exclusive Adult Rooms area, kept for guests aged 16 and over who stay there.
Blue mosaic in a chequerboard pattern covers the floor of Ellinon Thea's indoor pool, with a dolphin picked out in tiles and gently curving steps down into the shallow end. White curtains soften the walls, loungers line the edge, and a separate plunge pool sits alongside. It's right in Arachova village, open all year and free to use.
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.
Set among the fairways of the Abama golf course, the main pool runs out to an infinity edge with the Atlantic and La Gomera beyond it. It's heated and open all year, with a pool bar close by. Two more outdoor pools and a shallow kids' pool, kept apart for the youngest swimmers, complete the set.
The main pool is a big freshwater lagoon that curves through a garden of tall palms, heated through the cooler months. Alongside it sit two smaller adults-only pools in the spa: a 30°C saltwater pool with underwater massage jets and a brine pool kept at 30 to 33°C all year, with a hot tub corner. Children get their own pair: a shallow baby pool and a kids' pool with a slide, both heated.
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.
Seen from the loungers, the main pool seems to pour straight into the Atlantic: it's an infinity pool with palms along its curving edge, heated and open all year. A separate outdoor kids' pool keeps the youngest swimmers apart, and the two- and three-bedroom villas add something rarer, a private pool of their own on the terrace, looking out to sea.
Water is everywhere at Lyttos Beach. A long, curving outdoor pool runs between the hotel wings and the sand, a lane-marked pool is there for proper lengths, and an indoor heated pool sits under glass for cooler days. Along the seafront, some ground-floor rooms and junior suites have a private pool of their own, a few steps from the beach.
Palm Oasis is built around water. Two outdoor pools wind through a tropical garden of palms and volcanic rock, with waterfalls, hot tubs tucked into the rocks and a slide for the kids. The pools are heated in winter, the main one is open all year with a shallow end for easing in, and there's a separate children's pool.
Two outdoor pools sit in the palm garden between the resort and the sea near Arguineguín: a large free-form freshwater pool and, right beside it, a smaller saltwater pool that's heated and open all year. A shallow end makes easing in simple, and children get their own pool area.
On Abama's clifftop, three heated pools are open to every guest all year, out of seven spread through the gardens. The Lagoon Pool, the largest, curves between palms at the heart of the Citadel. The Persian Garden Pool sits among the terracotta, Moorish-style buildings looking over Abama bay, and the Serenity Pool, for ages 13 and up, faces the golf course.
Two infinity pools sit at the sea end of the garden, their edges lined up with the Atlantic and their shallow ledges set with submerged loungers. Both are for adults only. Further back are three more outdoor pools, one with a curved shallow shelf, plus a children's pool, six in all, and the pools are heated in winter.
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.
Stone terraces step down the cliff above Amadores Bay, and on one of them an infinity pool runs straight out towards the Atlantic. It's one of two adult pools, and the one that can be heated. Two freshwater children's pools sit on the terraces too, and a round whirlpool hides below the red rock of the cliff.
Six outdoor pools spread through the gardens of this resort by the sea in Meloneras. The one to find first is the infinity pool, its edge running out towards the Atlantic. Elsewhere there's a large lagoon-style main pool below the resort's twin church towers, a saltwater pool, a plunge pool and a kids' pool, plus a sandy beach area set among the palms.
The best of the four pools is out at the tip of the peninsula: a two-level saltwater pool with the sea on three sides, a children's section on the lower level and nothing but the bay of Agia Pelagia from the water. The main pool sits higher up between the restaurant and the snack bar, with a 270-degree sea view.
Below the bare brown mountains of the Mogán valley, the resort wraps around its pool garden: two outdoor pools, each with a hot tub, and a separate children's pool. The main pool is saltwater, heated and open all year, with a shallow end for easing in.
At 1,255 m², the circular main pool is closer to a lagoon than a hotel pool, set in a palm garden with the hotel's curved white wings around it and the sea beyond. It's heated all year, to around 26-27°C in winter and 28-30°C in summer, and 1.5 m deep, with a patterned tiled floor that lights up at dusk.
Floor-to-ceiling windows run down one side of Anemolia's pool hall, so the Delphi valley is right there while you swim. The pool is indoors and open all year, heated to around 27°C from late October to May, set under a timber-beamed ceiling between stone-clad pillars, with a shallow end and loungers lined up along the glass.
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.
Agii Theodori island fills the horizon from the main pool, which runs between the resort's terraces and the sea at Platanias. Outdoor pools spread through the 30,000 m² grounds, including a palm-lined courtyard pool, and there are four children's pools. The heated one is indoors: a 90 m² pool under a glass roof in the spa, lined with white loungers, with a sauna, steam bath and hammam alongside.
Inside Aegli's spa, a mosaic-tiled indoor pool runs along a wall of glass, and from the water you look out over the hillside and the houses of Arachova. It's an infinity pool, edged with Greek-key bands, lit blue after dark, with lanterns along the side and loungers at the far end.
