Please note Maldives islands are not designed for clients
with reduced mobility but they do accommodate them and any requirement in prior
so they will accommodate accordingly.
Nevertheless, they did have cases where people in a
wheelchair came to resorts and they were able to arrange things accordingly.
However, these guests had either a person accompanying them
or were able to walk a little bit, which made it easier, as especially some
spaces like restaurants, bathrooms and getting around and island are mainly
sand would be tricky. Some resorts have buggy so it would be easier to move
around the island, and some do have wheelchairs on the island too.
Below are some exemptions to the rule:
