Fab holiday resort with indoor pool?

[Disabrie22]

It's for my skinny child who can only take so much of an outdoor pool before they freeze! Can anyone reccomend a great resort or site they have been to with a great indoor pool?

Heated outdoor pool?

Monte Dourado or Rocha Brava in Carvoeiro, Algarve

Wetsuit?

Indoor pools in Europe are pretty rare. I remember a thread last year where someone with a similar child brought a rash vest, shorty wetsuit and toga towel and this seemed to do the trick. would be easier to do this than try and find a hotel outside of the uk with an indoor pool.

I've been researching this myself as my daughter gets very cold indoor pools do exist but seem to be in some of the 5 star hotels which are very pricy

If you do find one, check it is open when you want to go. I'm sure I've seen hotels with indoor pools that are only open outside the summer period.

A heated pool is very expensive to run, so it is understandable that they wouldn't want to keep it clean and heated when hardly anyone would be using it.

More common is hotels in the Canary islands that have heated outdoor pools outside the main summer season, which would be good if you were going at Easter, October or Christmas for example.

Sheraton Fuerteventura has a heated kids pool but check its heated all year
Centre parcs is another option

There's also Billund in Denmark. There's a Center Parcs style resort with dome with pool, spa, restaurants and other stuff and a Lego Land next door. Not sure what else is nearby but coast with nature reserve areas is less than an hour away by bus. You can fly cheaply from Stansted with Ryanair and Lego Land etc is a very short bus ride from the airport.

The Holiday Village in Benalmadena has an indoor pool, children are only allowed in certain times and you have to wear a swimming cap!

Pierre et vacances, some sites like Belle Dune have indoor pools with slides etc. Larger alpine resorts often have indoor/outdoor pools.

wetsuit. Supermarket one will do but it needs to fit tightly.

rash vest keeps sun off and actually intensifies wind chill.

or the sea, which is often warmer and certainly cleaner.

Sani Beach Hotel has an indoor pool and all the outdoor ones are well heated too. The outdoor kids pool at part of the resort is actually unbearably warm!
