The Swedish stars, both 19-years-old, were seeded 24th in the qualification bracket but managed to secure one of the eight places available in the main draw.
It is their first appearance at a four-star International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) Beach World Tour event.
Ahman and Hellvig started off with a gruelling 21-18, 28-30, 15-9 win over Belgium’s Dries Koekelkoren and Tom van Walle.
In the second round, the pair came back from a set down against Dutch pair Stefan Boermans and Yorick de Groot to triumph 16-21, 21-19, 15-8.
"It feels amazing to make it to the main draw at our first four-star tournament ever," Ahman said.
