Find hotels in Ottenby from $101

The best area to stay in Ottenby is directly within the Ottenby Nature Reserve or in the nearby village of Grönhögen.

The Ottenby Nature Reserve is at the southern tip of Öland island, known for its extensive birdlife and the historic Långe Jan lighthouse. Accommodations here are often guesthouses or former lighthouse keeper residences, offering immediate access to walking trails, birdwatching hides, and the natural beauty of the area. This location is ideal for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers who want to be immersed in the environment.

Grönhögen, a small village just north of the nature reserve, offers a slightly more developed but still very tranquil setting. It provides a few more dining options and amenities while remaining very close to Ottenby's natural attractions.

The best time to visit Ottenby is during the late spring and early autumn, specifically from May to June and August to September, when the weather is pleasant and wildlife viewing opportunities are at their peak.

For birdwatching enthusiasts, these months offer prime conditions. Spring brings a spectacular influx of migratory birds returning to breed, while late summer and early autumn are excellent for observing southbound migration. The Ottenby Bird Observatory, located at the island's southern tip, is particularly active during these periods, providing guided tours and educational programs.

Families with an interest in nature and outdoor activities will find these times ideal. The mild temperatures are superb for exploring the nature reserve's walking trails, visiting the historic lighthouse, and enjoying the beaches without the colder winds of winter or the occasional heat of mid-summer.
