Answer

Are saunas safe for older people in Mallorca hotels?

Saunas can be risky for older guests, especially if they have heart problems, low blood pressure, or take medication that affects circulation. Heat can cause dehydration and a drop in blood pressure, which may lead to collapse. In Mallorca hotels, it is sensible to treat sauna use with caution and avoid going in alone if there are any health concerns.
