Relaxation areas
Explanation:
As Luciano said, no context was given. So we believe that "área de descompressão" is the space where professionals can release tension after/during a stressful working day.

  -> Eu até ia postar "zona" também, mas dada a dúvida em relação ao termo, nem postei. Parece ser uma tradução literal, pouco encontrada, e a sugestão do Alessandro é mais adequada. Obrigado, Sergio!
neutral  liz askew: This is questionable, especially as I am unable to find any bona fide En medical references for this:)

  -> Which does not mean it's incorrect. Please note I posted this with level 3, and I clearly mentioned "It sure LOOKS LIKE". Thank you, Liz.
agree  Nick Taylor: Stores or restaurants have different zones, from the famous “decompression zone” in stores, to fitting rooms or the store checkout area

Asker: Yes thks Alessandro, think I was looking up the wrong street for a medical term, when all they mean is a rest or relaxation area.

neutral  Lucia Mylius: Depende do contexto. Pode ser zona de relaxamento ou zona de descontração, mas também pode ser zona de descompressão. Depende do contexto.

  -> Concordo contigo. Principalmente se fosse um termo médico (p. ex. em procedimentos cirúrgicos), em que "decompression area" seria a melhor versão. Obrigado pela reflexão!
