Though travelling in spring and autumn comes with the benefit of more manageable daytime temperatures and a chance to sit out in (rather than hide away from) the midday sun, a heated pool can be a welcome addition to your villa experience, especially if you like to linger in the water. Whether you’re planning some serious swimming, a playful splash about or simply want to lie back on an inflatable and drift off to sleep, our selection of villas with heated pools offer plenty of choice for those who like the assurance of warmer waters waiting overseas.

In France, the season starts in early April and while air temperatures can still be high at this time of year, the water can be a little slower to heat up. You’ll find an excellent collection of villas with heated pools here and though guests usually only ask us to turn on the heat in the shoulder seasons, at a supplement we can also arrange to boost temperatures to your individual requirements throughout the summer.

Corsica is one of the most exclusive islands in the Mediterranean; no surprise then that many of our villas come with the added luxury of a heated pool, ideal for those who want to ensure that temperatures are toasty at any time of year. And though the warm climates of Turkey, Greece and Italy generally don’t warrant a heated pool, we’ve managed to find a few options for anyone who prefers their swim to feel more like a warm bath than a refreshing dip.
