Ellery Beach House Conjures Up a Retro Spirit

The Stockholm retreat recalls the playful, glamorous ethos of Palm Springs in decades past

Words by: Joann Plockova

Located on the island of Lidingö within the Stockholm archipelago, the recently opened Ellery Beach House retreat is less than 20 minutes from the Swedish capital, yet it feels worlds away.

As the city’s only beach resort, “the vibe is laidback and welcoming,” says Daniel Berg Stocks, CEO and project manager at Spik Studios, the Gothenburg, Sweden-based firm behind the design. Complementing the tranquil surroundings, the resort’s playful, glamorous energy is inspired by Palm Springs during the 1960s and ’70s, and the American TV show, Dallas. “[It’s] A lovely mix of a disco and a sandy beach,” he adds.

Evoking a Soho House feel, the lobby blends into Palmer’s restaurant, where graphic patterns mingle with wood floors in a variety of stains, mosaic accents, plush velvet furniture, and a color palette that marries blue, pink, red, and ochre along with black and crème patterns. Brass accents, shelving, and marble “make the place feel alive and lived in,” Berg Stocks points out.

The property is also home to Coco Beach Club (featuring a restaurant, indoor and outdoor pools, a poolside lounge, a sauna and cabanas, as well four spa treatment rooms), which is a California-style tribute to rattan, raffia, and other natural materials that “contrast soft velvet upholstery as well as brass and crystal chandeliers,” Berg Stocks says, noting that the 1960s can still be experienced in details like the pool area’s boldly patterned tiles.

In contrast, the 122 rooms conjure a more serene feeling, with soft hues of light green, pink, and sand. A wood headboard covers a large portion of the wall and meets the raw concrete ceiling embracing a beachy vibe that reflects the location. Here, says Berg Stocks, “you can be whoever you want to be.”
