Finding beach hotels with heated pools is definitely the main request from many of you.  The list belong, along with this other list of beach hotels will hopefully be a good starting point. I have updated it with some more hotels for 2018.

The criteria for beach hotels with heated pools

• hotel with heated pool (to 28 degrees or above) this can be either indoor or outdoor, it might be that there are limited swimming times for children
• walking distance or short drive to beach
• ideally no more than an hour from the airport

I searched for some time and have found several beach hotels with heated pools that match most of the criteria. The walking distance to beach and village in particular is a tricky one as small independent hotels with heated pools need space so are often well hidden in the countryside.

There are many more hotels and B&B with heated pools on this blog. Make sure to check them out.

Spain hotels with heated pool

Hostal Spa Empuries, Costa Brava

• 53 rooms
• Spa quadruple suite is at 286 Euros in September
• Click here for the latest prices and book*

We just came back from the Costa Brava two weeks ago and I can vouch for its beautiful coast and calas (coves). At that time of the year, it should be great as not as crowded as when we  were there.

This hotel has both an outdoor pool and one heated pool in the spa and is right on the beach. In September you could indulge with a spa quadruple which has its own terrace and a separate area with a sofabed.  Some rooms are prettier than others.

It’s more of a B&B than a hotel but it has the benefit of having two pools (one heated indoor and one outdoors) as well as farm animals (donkeys, ponies, horses, chickens and goats) ! Wonderful for little ones. The indoor heated one has a wide shallow shelf for non-swimmers and toddlers to play safely on; the outdoor unheated one has a parapet surrounding it and a shallow end under the trees. Meals are on request but are said to be delicious.

Near Montpellier, a lovely town in France,  where the weather should be really nice at the end of September.  There is an outdoor pool encircled by lush lawns, pine and palm trees, and lots of vines and a heated indoor hydrotherapy pool in the spa. The beaches (public or private, i.e. with lounge beds that you pay for) are less than 15 minutes away.

2 bigger beach hotels with heated pool

This blog is all about boutique hotels but in this case, I’m adding a few bigger hotels as they are very popular for families.

Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort Hotel, Portugal

Borgo Egnazia, Italy

Inspired by the traditional architecture from Puglia and arabic palaces, Borgo Egnazia Hotel opened a few years ago  to offer stylish holidays to families.  You can rent a villa or a bedroom.  Make sure to check the villa description as some are smaller than it might seem.  Once there, you’ll have 4 swimming pools, a 1800-m² wellness centre and won’t be far from a golf. You can also go to their private beach club in Savelletri, 0.9 miles away.

Finally…

I also found Eagles Palace* in Greece: They have a limited September offer where they offer 20% off plus half board upgrade. Not my usual choice as big hotel but  the prices are good and it’s right on the beach. There’s also a heated  pool.
