Amilla Maldives is a veritable catalogue of the ideal accessibility for a tropical resort. I’ve already highlighted a number of prominent accessibility initiatives and features at Amilla, but I’ve decided to add this post to cover all of the smaller (but just as helpful) touches that they just keep adding:
- Transfer Boards – For assisting mobility impaired individuals from transferring from chairs to beds, treatment tables, etc.
- Hidden Disability -Training for managing disabilities that are not readily apparent.
- Autism – Can accommodate sensitivities to light and sound, as well as manage the visit to hep with unforeseen triggers.
- Hearing Impairment – Portable hearing loop. Flashing lights on fire and emergency alarms and can organise a member of staff to fetch you from your villa during an emergency if requested in advance.
- Dysphagia – Expertise in tailoring menus for those with swallowing difficulties.
- Visual Impairment – Digital menus with clear and bright displays with enlargeable text.
- Evac Chair – To facilitate evacuation from villa or island.
