Drifting on the isle of Lidingö, adults-only resort Ellery Beach House is just a short hop from Stockholm and yet feels a waterfront world away. Outdoor pools steam beneath the pines, vinyls spin in the vintage-infused lobby, and saunas are set to ‘defrost’ after bracing sea dips — only steps from the beach club and retro-inspired rooms. It’s part wellness retreat, part disco-tinted daydream — with velvet sofas primed for cocktails between games of padel and guzzling seafood straight from the grill.

Our favourite rooms

It’s got to be the Deluxe rooms for us, as they’re set slightly apart from the beach club buzz in an annex with sweeping views over the entire resort. You can spy the sea from the Superior and Petite Mini Double rooms, but as the name suggests, the latter are rather on the cosy side of things.

Poolside

At Ellery Beach House, there are four heated pools — three outdoor, one indoor — for year-round dips on the roof, in the courtyard, and at Coco Beach Club. The outdoor oases channel a Palm Springs–meets-Scandinavia aesthetic with poolside cocktails, a DJ deck, fire lounges, cabanas and saunas, especially the pink-roofed pool with its blush-hued frames.

Spa

Treatments at Coco Beach Club range from quick ‘Let’s Face It’ facials to deeper ‘Doll U Up’ cleansing sessions, full-body exfoliation with tropical scents (‘Let’s Go Coco’), and luxurious combo rituals like ‘You’re Gold Baby’ — all using organic Swedish brands such as Organics by Sara, coupled with signature techniques like guasha, dry brushing, lymphatic drainage, cupping, scalp and foot massage. In true Nordic fashion, there are several saunas to sweat it out in, including an indoor sauna next to a dipping pool, and an on-the-water sauna with an adjoining cold plunge directly into the Baltic Sea — offering classic hot-cold therapy with guided infusion rituals and aromatherapy in group sessions.

Packing tips

Think retro resortwear and sleek swimsuits for steamy saunas and cold sea plunges.

Also

If you’re bringing your own boat, ask the hotel about rocking up and docking at its private jetty.

Pet‐friendly

Dogs can stay in Deluxe Rooms for an additional charge of SEK350 a night. See more pet-friendly hotels in Stockholm.

Dress Code

Stick to your swimmers by day, then change into something party-proof for the evening (hello, DJ sets).

Hotel restaurant

There are two; Palmers takes its inspiration from the Greek islands, the souks of Morocco, and Lebanese mezze, fusing this medley of flavours over a charcoal grill. You might start with Jerusalem artichoke cooked over the flames, and sprinkled with sesame seeds, walnuts, and black garlic, followed by a grilled lamb skewer with seasonal vegetables. Over at the beach club, Coco’s menu is shaped by South America and the asado culture of Argentina, from spicy shrimp tacos and tangy ceviche to chimichurri slathered grilled cheese. Rattan, raffia and crystal chandeliers shimmer above lounge-style seating, set against unfurling greenery and patterned tiles that would look at home in Mexico City.

Hotel bar

Let’s just say that you’re never going to struggle to order a drink around here. There are poolside bars in the courtyard and up on the Pink Roof (think chilled bottles of rosé, frozen cocktails, and mellow DJ sets), and an outdoor terrace fronting Palmers that’s lined by tasselled parasols and cloud-like sofas. Order Coco’s signature tropical drink, ‘Le Colada’, at the beach club, where the tempo picks up and a disco ball starts to spin after dark. Bally Bar is the main sociable hub, with shuffleboard and ping pong to play between sinking martinis by the open fireplace. In the summer, a pink food truck parks in the courtyard and serves spritzes and cold beers to accompany your late afternoon boules game.

Last orders

At Palmers, breakfast is from 7.30am to 10am (Monday to Friday), and 8am to 10.45am (weekends); brunch is 11am to 2pm, lunch from 11.30am to 3pm, and dinner from 5.30pm to 11pm. At Coco’s, lunch is from 11.30am to 3pm, and dinner from 5.30pm to 11pm.

Location

Address
Ellery Beach House
Elfviks Udde
Lidingö
181 90
Sweden

Ellery Beach House is located on Elfviks Udde, the tip of Lidingö island, in the inner Stockholm archipelago — about 20 minutes north-east of the Swedish capital.

Planes

Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport is around 50 minutes by car from the hotel.

Trains

You can hop on the Arlanda Express from the airport to Stockholm Central, transfer to the subway, then take the red line to Ropsten. From Ropsten, take the Lidingöbanan tram (line 21) to Gåshaga Brygga. From here, it’s a 20-minute taxi ride to the hotel.

Automobiles

The public transport around Lidingö is pretty well connected, but if you’d like to drive, there’s free parking at the hotel.

Other

Värtahamnen ferry terminal is a 15-minute drive from Ellery Beach House if you’re planning to arrive by boat from Helsinki or Tallinn, or there’s the commuter ferry from Nybrokajen in central Stockholm.

Worth getting out of bed for

Mornings at Ellery Beach House begin with bracing Baltic dips or a barefoot stroll to one of the saunas, followed by paddleboard yoga or a slow brunch overlooking pine-lined shores. With little need to leave the resort’s cocooning confines, drift between the heated pools of Coco Beach Club, sip a midday spritz on a sunlounger, or book a spa ritual. Should you find the strength to leave your cabana, Lidingö is criss-crossed with forested trails for hiking and biking, as well as offering up Millesgården Museum. Perched high on a cliff at Herserud, this sculpture park is the former home and living gallery of celebrated sculptor Carl Milles and his wife Olga, with bronze works to admire alfresco, and art-filled woodlands to unwind in. For an easy day trip, Stockholm’s open-air museums on Djurgården, boutiques in Östermalm, and charming Gamla Stan are just 20 minutes away. 

Local restaurants

Starting life as a small, neighbourhood pizzeria in Käppala on Lidingö, 450 Gradi is now housed within AGA’s heritage-listed premises at Dalénum, serving wood-fired Neapolitan slices and homemade gelato overlooking the Saltsjön inlet. At rural Långängens Gård, local fish and meat are smoked in the courtyard, herbs and fruits are picked from the gardens, and the kitchen makes absolutely everything from scratch. Plan ahead for an evening in Stockholm at Lilla Ego, a brick-walled bistro in Vasastan that’s nearly always booked up for its simple, seasonal dishes. 

Local cafés

There’s a Mediterranean-inspired café at Millesgården which makes a great mid-museum stop for rye bread sandwiches, cinnamon buns and homemade cakes. 

Local bars

Again, you might want to pop into Stockholm for a nightcap. The natural wine list at Tyge and Sessil in Östermalm is worth the tram ride in and out, or the buzzy bottle shop, Bambi, on Bjurholmsgatan.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this archipelago-perched hotel just outside Stockholm and unpacked their tennis whites and swimwear, a full account of their coastal break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Ellery Beach House in Sweden… 

Just across the bridge from Stockholm on the villa-studded shores of Lidingö, Ellery Beach House is reeling in urbanites for long, leisurely weekends by the Baltic Sea. The entire set-up is good for the soul, where days unfold to a relaxed rhythm of forest walks, wood-fired saunas, and swims in pools heated to bath-like temperatures throughout the colder months.  

Inside, the scent of salt and sandalwood lingers in velvet-draped lounges, where low-slung sofas, brass lighting, and vintage turntables set a sultry, retro tone. The rooms — some compact and cocooning, others with sweeping sea views — are decked in burnt orange, tobacco leather and textured wood, inviting barefoot lounging and late-morning lie-ins. Espresso martinis clink beneath disco balls and palm fronds, platters are piled high with grilled seafood, and DJs play crowd-pleasing sets into the night. This is where Stockholmers come to switch off (then turn the dial up).
