A private pool is one of the most appreciated features when booking a holiday home in Croatia.
However, outside the peak summer months, one important detail can make all the difference:
A pool can look perfect, but the water may still be too cold for comfortable swimming.
That’s why heated pools have become especially popular in spring and early summer, often until the beginning of June, as well as again in September and beyond.
At AdriaVacay, we want to do more than simply list features — we want our guests to feel fully informed before they arrive, so expectations match reality. In our experience, clear information leads to a better stay, fewer misunderstandings, and ultimately better reviews.
A heated pool is typically most appreciated:
The exact “ideal period” depends on the villa’s location.
Villas along the coast often warm up earlier due to milder temperatures, while villas in inland Dalmatia can have cooler mornings and evenings even when the days are sunny. For inland properties, a heated pool can remain an important comfort feature well into early summer and again earlier in autumn.
A heated pool is a great upgrade, but it’s important to understand that the final water temperature is influenced by several factors.
The pool temperature depends on:
Under stable and sunny conditions, a heated pool can often reach a comfortable 26–27°C, especially if the pool is covered during the night and when it is not being used.
If the pool has a cover, it helps retain warmth overnight and reduces heat loss throughout the day.
This small detail can make a noticeable difference in how quickly the pool warms up and how stable the temperature remains.
For guests who want the best possible swimming experience outside the high summer season, a covered heated pool is always a strong advantage.
Croatia’s climate can be beautiful, but also unpredictable in spring and autumn. Strong winds, especially bura, can significantly lower the perceived temperature and cool the pool faster than the heating system can compensate.
In extreme conditions, even the best heating system may struggle to maintain the desired temperature — particularly if the air temperature drops suddenly or the wind is intense.
That is why we always recommend considering heated pools as an excellent comfort feature, but not as a guaranteed fixed temperature in every weather scenario.
We truly love recommending villas with heated pools, because they allow our guests to enjoy the pool season longer and make villa stays more comfortable in spring and early summer.
But we also believe that being transparent is just as important.
We share this information so guests can plan their holiday with realistic expectations and enjoy their stay exactly as intended — without confusion, disappointment, or last-minute questions after arrival.

Yes. At AdriaVacay, pool heating is included in the price for all villas that offer a heated pool. Our property owners consider it a standard part of the heated pool experience.
Pool heating is typically already planned and activated according to the season. However, if you have specific preferences, we can always arrange everything directly with the owner in advance.
