Web Accessibility

Last Updated: 21 July 2025

Nira Caledonia is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The Nira Caledonia website aims to be conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We believe this standard provides a high level of accessibility and a positive user experience for all our guests.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features to make our website more accessible:

  • Keyboard Navigation: The entire website can be navigated using the tab key on a keyboard.
  • Image Alt Text: All images include descriptive alternative text for screen reader users.
  • Resizable Text: You can adjust the text size in your browser settings without breaking the website layout.
  • Semantic Structure: We use correct heading structures (H1, H2, etc.) to help users understand the page layout.
  • Contrast: We have aimed for strong colour contrast between text and backgrounds to improve readability.

Known Limitations

While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. We are aware of the following limitations:

  • Third-Party Widgets: Some third-party content, such as our online booking engine, may not be fully conformant with our accessibility standards. We work with our partners to encourage them to improve their accessibility.
