Indoor Pool Hotels in Andalucia
by Max Phythian
A selection of hotels with an indoor swimming pool. This is a specific amenity that many families look for in a hotel when travelling with younger children, since they provide a perfect opportunity for little ones to splash, play and swim safely in warm water, whatever the weather.
Bear in mind that some outdoor pools are only open seasonally, ie April/May to September/October, most are heated indoor pools during off-season. Indoor pools can be enjoyed by all ages, all year round, therefore guests can book out of the high season, during the late autumn, winter and early spring months, and still enjoy going for a dip.
It is worth noting that the indoor pools at some hotels are located within the spa. Hotels generally allow Spa pool access to all guests, some pools may not be appropriate for children, some may charge a fee. Some spa pools may be small.
