Which age is best for spa?
Spa age policies vary significantly depending on the facility and treatment type. Most traditional spas restrict access to saunas, steam rooms, and thermal pools to guests over 16 or 18, primarily for safety reasons related to heat exposure and developing bodies’ different temperature regulation systems. On balance however, spas themselves do not tend to permit children under the age of 16. In all cases, children and teenagers must be accompanied by an adult. What it boils down to is a combination of individual spa destination protocols, safety, consideration for others and personal choice.Some venues offer treatments and access to the facilities from age 16, while others welcome spa-loving mini-mes as young as 13 as long as there’s a parent or guardian present during treatments. Not all treatments are suitable for their enviably youthful skin, so it’s important to choose carefully.
