Inside Soneva Jani’s Mobility Friendly Water Reserve
Monday 19th of April 2021
When Soneva Jani lifted the curtains on Chapter Two, the world turned its head to this epitome of luxury offerings in the Maldives. A new era of barefoot luxury dawned in the divine destination with the world’s largest water villas, bespoke dining destinations and a serene Wellness Center.
Standing out from the rest, the mobiloity friendly 2-bedroom Water Reserve in Chapter Two has caught our attention. Addressing the challenges of travelling in a wheelchair, the vast 772 sqm of space is designed to accommodate mobility aids efficiently. Located conveniently at the beginning of the Chapter Two jetty, it is positioned towards the sunrise, making the most of the uninterrupted views towards the horizon.
The ground floor of the reserve opens up to the Master Bedroom suite with a conjoining children’s room. Iconic to Soneva, the roof is retractable, allowing unbound views into the skies from the comfort of your bed. The open-air bathroom overlooks the endless Indian Ocean in the horizon that mercilessly blends into the baby blue of the Maldivian sky.
An open-plan living is flows seamlessly throughout the living space of the ground floor, ensuring ease of movement for wheelchair users between the light-filled communal living areas. The large TV lounge converts into a wheelchair-friendly bedroom on request, featuring a specially designed en-suite bathroom, shower and toilet with rails and grab bars.
The elegant interiors compliment the natural setting of the reserve. Floor-to-ceiling windows command panoramic ocean vistas, reclaimed driftwood is repurposed into sculptural centrepieces, and playful glass portholes dotted across the villa floor peer directly into the turquoise lagoon below. Upstairs, there is an additional bedroom suite, with its own dressing room, en-suite bathroom, dining sala and specious roof terrace.
The spectacular outdoor living space can be accessed by wheelchairs easily on a connecting ramp. On the terrace, a sweepingly large private pool calls for lazy Sunday afternoons every single day. For water enthusiasts who want more, steps to heavenly Maldivian waters lead right down to the lagoon. Loungers, sunken seating, a swing seat and catamaran nets offer a selection of comfortable spots to while away the day, while the design of the villa roof overhang provides ample shade from the Maldivian sunshine.
The Soneva Unlimited offer applies to all guests staying at the mobility friendly Water Reserve in Chapter Two. It allows limitless experiences for a truly reconnecting escape into the best nature has to offer.
