Summer at the 'One and Only Beach Resort in Switzerland'

With 95 sunlit rooms and suites, four award-winning restaurants, two bars, a private beach, its own harbor, and a sprawling garden area with three pools right on the lakeshore, the resort combines stylish relaxation with inspiring experiences. As part of the Tschuggen Collection, the hotel, with its climate-neutral building infrastructure and Green Globe environmental certification, also stands for responsible luxury and a holistic holiday experience in harmony with nature.

Between Waves, Wind, and Vistas – Active Through the Summer

When morning awakens over the lake, Hotel Eden Roc becomes the starting point for unforgettable experiences on and around Lake Maggiore. With 500 meters of private lake frontage, its own harbor, and an in-house water sports school, a wide range of water sports activities open up to guests here.

Those seeking the morning's silence can explore the shoreline in a kayak or on a stand-up paddleboard. But with the innovative OTTER – electric pedal boat, new perspectives can also be discovered, such as during a tour to the nearby Brissago Islands with their colorful botanical garden.

A special highlight is the hotel's own Sailors Club. Glide gently across the glittering water with the wind, set the sails together with an experienced skipper, and rediscover the vastness of the lake as the refreshing breeze propels the boat forward and the picturesque scenery of Ticino passes by.

As part of the Moving Mountains program, the in-house Outdoor Butler also guides guests through Ticino's unique side valleys. A particular highlight is the hike through the Centovalli. The journey alone on the Centovalli Railway is a small time travel, before historical villages, enchanted alleys, and spectacular viewpoints sharpen the eye for the region's beauty.

Those who wish to discover Ascona in comfort can explore the charming lanes with the Eden Roc Beach Buggy. Pass colorful facades, shady squares, and the scent of fresh summer blooms. At the hotel's entrance, Casa Epper also invites you to dive into changing exhibitions and inspiring encounters as a place for art and culture.

Culinary Highlights of the Season

Summer at Hotel Eden Roc is also an invitation to the senses. The hotel's four excellent restaurants offer a varied array of culinary experiences that celebrate the best of Mediterranean and regional cuisine.

In the restaurant La Brezza, awarded two Michelin stars and 19 GaultMillau points, Marco Campanella delights with a cuisine that combines international influences with regional roots. His creations – whether classic or plant-based – are characterized by creativity and uncompromising quality. The restaurant opens on May 8, 2026, promising extraordinary moments of enjoyment this season as well.

Located right by the water, Restaurant Eden Roc (15 GaultMillau points) becomes a meeting place for gourmets not only on mild summer evenings. At the weekly Summer BBQ, freshly caught fish, light meat dishes, and plant-based alternatives reflect the season's taste.

The Boathouse La Casetta offers an intimate dining experience at both lunch and dinner with perhaps the most spectacular view of Lake Maggiore, and the lively restaurant Marina attracts hotel guests and locals alike to a carefree all-day dining experience with its own boat dock.

The hotel's own gelato cart evokes sweet holiday feelings with new daily creations that delight both the young and old. And when Italian classics sound on the pontile on Fridays, accompanied by a refreshing summer spritz and fine appetizers, a true Dolce Vita flair wafts through the warm evening air.

With its unique blend of lake and mountains, activity and relaxation, culinary and culture, Hotel Eden Roc Ascona remains this summer's destination for stylish holidays by the sun-drenched shores of Lake Maggiore.
