About us
Through our lived experience and many years of travelling with a wheelchair user we understand just how difficult it can be to find a holiday that meets your specific requirements. Whether you need a certain type of pool access, a wheelchair accessible room or medical equipment during the stay it can make the process of finding and organising the right holiday feel very daunting.
We are Paula & Steve, and at our company World Accessible Holidays we make accessible holidays simple. With a passion for travel and years of experience exploring the world with our son, who uses a wheelchair, we’ve never let any disability get in the way of our adventures. Starting World Accessible Holidays was our way of helping others overcome similar barriers and enjoy the freedom of travel.
We’ve built a database of hotels and resorts across the world that have facilities tailored to disabled guests. We can recommend the holiday that perfectly meets your needs. Whether you have specific access requirements because you or a family member uses a wheelchair, or you need medical equipment like a profiling bed or a wheel-in shower chair during your trip, World Accessible Holidays can organise it for you. We are with you right through the process of booking and organising every aspect of your holiday. And what’s more we work with all the major tour operators so that the price you pay is the same as anyone else booking a standard holiday through a travel agent. No disability price premiums here and we will guarantee an accessible room before you book. That’s what makes us unique!
If we can’t find the perfect trip for you with the major tour operators, we’ll build it ourselves. We are fully ATOL bonded and can package exciting experiences around the world.
So, from thinking about an accessible holiday to soaking up the sun by the pool, we’ll be with you all the way.
We look after all our customers as if they were family and we’re always on hand whenever they need us.
Our Process
Step 1: Tell Us Your Needs
Every journey starts with a conversation. We take the time to understand your mobility
requirements, medical needs, travel preferences, and budget — so we can find holidays that
genuinely work for you.
Step 2: We Research Your Options
Using our specialist knowledge and industry contacts, we identify holidays that match your
requirements. We do not guess — we check.
Step 3: We Verify Accessibility
Before we recommend anything, we confirm the accessibility claims directly with the hotel or
operator. Accessible rooms are guaranteed — not just listed.
Step 4: We Handle The Booking
We manage everything from flights and accommodation to transfers and travel insurance. You
deal with one person who knows your requirements — not a call centre.
Step 5: We Support You Throughout
Our support does not stop at the airport. We are contactable during your holiday if anything needs
to be resolved. You travel knowing someone is in your corner.
