Meloneras, Gran Canaria, Spain
Atlantic infinity pool and winter-heated pools in Meloneras.
Why it made the list
The pool
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 main pool is open all year, and in winter three of the pools and the kids' pool are heated. Loungers and umbrellas are free, and the Azotea pool bar keeps things easy through the afternoon. For a warmer, slower swim, the Corallium Thalasso spa on the sea front adds a flotation pool and a hydrothermal circuit at extra cost. Not every pool is heated, though: in January, head for the heated ones.

The stay
Lopesan Villa del Conde is laid out like a Canarian village, with stone streets, courtyards and its own church, by the sea in Meloneras in the south of Gran Canaria. The Maspalomas dunes nature reserve starts about 800 m away, and the Meloneras shops and convention centre are a short walk.
This is a big resort: 561 rooms, each with a balcony or terrace. Dining runs from the La Plaza buffet to the Alpendre grill, OVO and an Italian restaurant, with the Patio Café for cakes and crêpes, and there's a kids' club and evening entertainment. The 1,200 m² Corallium Thalasso spa sits on the sea front with Turkish baths and a sauna.
Worth knowing: cots and extra beds aren't available, and children from 13 pay the adult rate.
Good to know
Three of the pools and the kids' pool are heated in winter. The others are not, so pick the heated ones for a warm swim from December to February.
Yes. The resort and its main pool operate all year round.
The flotation pool and hydrothermal circuit are part of the Corallium Thalasso spa and cost extra, except for one circuit per person included with the resort's Unique rooms.

High on the hillside above Puerto Rico, the rooftop pool's infinity edge lines up with the Atlantic, and from the loungers you look straight down on the marina and the bay. Water spouts pour from the stone wall at the back into the pool. It's heated and open all year, with a pool bar for drinks and light lunches.
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.
