Summer at Ellery Beach House

Coco Beach Club is where Ellery’s summer happens. Outdoor pools with a DJ, cold drinks and sun loungers lined up along the water. A sauna with its own jetty, indoor pools, and the archipelago stretching out in every direction. No reservation, no overnight stay — book a day pass and the day is yours.

Palmers is a modern brasserie where classic flavours meet California soul — cold martinis, oysters on ice, dinners that take as long as they like. The terrace comes alive at lunch, with crisp cocktails, wood-fired pizza of the day, and live music on select Friday evenings. In the wine bar, the sommelier opens the best bottles of the week every Friday and Saturday, with small bites chalked up on the blackboard. This is where evenings begin with something cold in the glass — and linger long after the last course.

South American small plates and evenings that don’t want to end. Coco is Ellery’s liveliest table — food that arrives at its own pace, shared across the middle of the table, and a room where no one’s in a hurry to be anywhere else. Lunch in the tent or out on the patio when the sun is out (in a bathrobe, if you like). Dinner when the evening calls for something more. Always with the right music playing, and a cocktail within reach.

Bally Bar opens the evening with a martini before dinner, or something small at the end of the night. Out in the Courtyard, the pink food truck has become the summer’s favourite spot for an Aperol under the pergola — boules clicking softly in the background. Coco Bar takes the afternoons, poolside, with a Le Colada that tastes exactly the way it sounds. And when the lights drop and the disco ball starts spinning, you already know the place.

There’s always something going on at Ellery. Live bands on the Palmers terrace. Frozen margaritas and a DJ at the Pink Pool. After-work drinks that turn into nights no one quite remembers planning. Have a look at what’s coming up – and start looking forward to it.

Do as much, or as little, as you like. Padel followed by a Pimm’s. Boules, cycling, running, pentathlon, paddleboarding. Borrow a bike and take Lidingö at your own pace, paddle out from the jetty, challenge a friend (or someone you’ll soon call one) to a match, or take on the pentathlon in the Summer Playground.

Cornhole, kubb, boules, shuffleboard, billiards, ping pong, pinball. Outdoors when the weather agrees, indoors when Sweden remembers itself. Loser buys the next round.

Ellery sits at the tip of Lidingö, with the archipelago at your doorstep and a private jetty waiting. A morning swim here is something else. Arriving by boat? Tie up and come ashore. Stay for lunch, dinner, or see where the evening takes you.

Lidingö has tons to offer. Take a three minute walk to Elfviks Gård – a farm shop, gallery, and small vineyard. Ten minutes on a bike and you’re at Fågelöudde: an idyllic beach. There’s plenty more worth finding.
