Best destinations for a June holiday
Santorini, Greece
Everyone knows Santorini is a stunner, but in June, it’s topper. The temperatures are just starting to climb, but you won’t be melting into the pavement. It’s the perfect month to bask in that iconic blue and white scenery, indulge in some banging Mediterranean grub, and soak up jaw-dropping sunsets.
Who it's for: Couples, mainly. Santorini is basically romance on an island — think sunset proposals, honeymoon vibes, and that "just the two of us" energy. It's also brilliant for photographers, Instagrammers, and anyone who's ever dreamed of sipping wine while staring at a volcanic caldera. Families with older kids can absolutely make it work, but if you've got toddlers who like to run, those cliffside paths might give you the fear.
Insider tip: While everyone’s flocking to Oia for sunset pics, head to the less-crowded village of Pyrgos for an equally stunning view and far fewer selfie sticks. And yes, it’s got some amazing restaurants and bars for a wine with a view, too.
Majorca, Balearics
Majorca holidays in June hit different. The weather is already sizzling, but you won’t get caught in the intense summer heat. Enjoy the island's mix of beach life, charming villages, and natural beauty without the high-season hustle. The beaches are pristine, and with fewer tourists, you can take a boat trip around hidden coves or hike the Tramuntana Mountains in peace.
Who it's for: Everyone, honestly. Families love the waterparks, shallow bays and kid-friendly resorts. Couples can escape to the quieter north for hiking and romantic dinners. Groups of mates will find plenty of beach clubs and buzzing nightlife in the south. And if you're after a solo adventure? Majorca's got the beaches, the mountains, and the vibes for proper "me time." It's the Balearic all-rounder.
Insider tip: Everyone knows about Palma and Magaluf, but head to the quieter north coast to explore places like Pollença and Formentor for a more laid-back vibe and some secret swimming spots.
Amalfi Coast, Italy
June is the time to experience a swanky Amalfi Coast holiday. The sun’s shining but it’s not unbearable yet, and you can enjoy long, leisurely strolls around Positano and Ravello without the usual throngs of tourists. Lemon trees are in full bloom (and yes, that means plenty of fresh Limoncello), the seafood is delish, and the crystal-clear waters are just begging for a dip in your swimmers.
Who it's for: Couples chasing that dolce vita dream, foodies who want to eat their way along the coast, and culture vultures with a side of beach time. It's not the easiest destination with young kids (think winding roads and lots of steps), but older children and teens will love the boat trips and gelato stops. Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or anyone who just wants to feel fancy for a week.
Insider tip: Hop on the local buses early in the day to avoid the midday heat. It’s also the start of Luminaria di San Domenico, where towns light up with candlelit parades - a local secret that most tourists don’t know about.
The Canary Islands, Spain
The Canaries are sunshine royalty year-round, but June is when they really hit that sweet spot. The crowds haven’t quite landed yet, the skies are blue, and the beaches? Chef’s kiss. Whether you’re all about volcanic hikes, golden sands or sangria-fuelled siestas, the Canaries serve up the goods without turning up the heat too high.
Who it's for: Sun-seekers who want guaranteed warmth without a long-haul flight. Families will find brilliant resorts with waterparks and kids' clubs, especially in Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Couples can escape to Lanzarote for volcanic landscapes and boutique hotels. Active types will love the hiking — Teide National Park is unreal. Basically, if you want sunshine without the gamble, the Canaries deliver every time.
Insider tip: Most people make a beeline for the big-name beaches, but if you want next-level views and fewer flip-flops in your way, hit up Playa de Benijo in Tenerife. It’s dramatic, untamed, and the sunsets? Pure magic. Plus, that Tenerife weather in June is perfection. Pack a picnic - or better yet, grab some fresh seafood at a local taverna after.
June holidays off the beaten track
Azores, Portugal
This remote archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. With lush landscapes, dramatic cliffs, and volcanic craters, Azores holidays offer incredible outdoor experiences in June. You can hike through green valleys, swim in natural pools, or even spot whales off the coast. June’s mild weather is ideal for exploring the islands' unique scenery without the sweltering heat.
Insider tip: Don’t miss Sete Cidades, a jaw-dropping crater lake that looks like something straight out of a fantasy film. For a quieter experience, visit the island of Flores, where you’ll feel like you’ve got the whole place to yourself.
Menorca, Spain
While its sister islands of Mallorca and Ibiza steal most of the attention, Menorca is the under-the-radar gem perfect for a peaceful June getaway. The island’s beaches are less crowded, the waters are crystal clear, and the vibe is way more chill. Whether you're after hiking in the countryside or relaxing on a quiet beach, Menorca holidays offer a little bit of everything.
Insider tip: Cala Macarella may be a famous beach, but head a little further to Cala Macarelleta - a smaller, more secluded cove for a proper relaxing day by the sea.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
June is prime time for Dubrovnik holidays before the massive cruise ships start flooding the city. The weather is comfortably warm, perfect for walking the iconic city walls, dipping into the Adriatic Sea, and enjoying alfresco dinners in the old town. You’ll also get a head start on the summer festivals, with Dubrovnik's Summer Festival beginning in late June.
Insider tip: Skip the cable car crowds and hike up Mount Srđ for stunning panoramic views of the city and the sea. It’s a bit of a climb but absolutely worth it - and hey, you’ll earn that evening gelato!
Insider tips for June holidays
Flight Deals: June still falls in the shoulder season for most destinations, meaning you can score mega flight deals if you book early. Use our handy flexible date tool to find the cheapest day to fly.
Book Local Festivals: June is festival season in many destinations. If you’re keen on cultural events, check local calendars and book ahead for events like Spain’s San Juan beach parties or Italy’s Festa della Repubblica. Be warned though - some events can book up fast!
Sun Protection: The June sun might not feel as scorchio as July or August, but don’t be fooled. Pack some solid SPF50 and a swanky hat because nobody wants to come home looking like a lobster.
Local Markets: Take advantage of early summer produce in local markets. Whether it's fresh olives in Greece, ripe tomatoes in Italy, or French cheeses, the food is fresh, seasonal, and often much cheaper than at restaurants.
Hidden Spots: While it's easy to be swayed by the top tourist attractions, seek out lesser-known areas for a more authentic experience. For instance, instead of jostling for space at Barcelona’s La Rambla, why not explore the peaceful Gracia district?
Frequently Asked Questions
Why book a June holiday?
Beat the summer rush: June sits in that sweet spot before the school holidays hit. Beaches are quieter, pools have actual space, and you won't be elbowing strangers for a sunbed at 7am. It's peak weather without peak chaos.
Proper good weather: The Med is heating up nicely — we're talking mid-to-high twenties across Spain, Greece, and Italy. Warm enough for beach days, not so hot you're melting into the pavement. The sea's warming up too, so you can actually swim without that sharp intake of breath.
Shoulder season prices: June falls just before the big summer price hike. You'll find better deals on flights and hotels compared to July and August, which means more euros in your pocket for sangria, seafood, and souvenirs.
Festival season kicks off: From Spain's San Juan beach bonfires (23rd-24th June) to Italy's Festa della Repubblica (2nd June), there's loads going on. It's a brilliant time to catch local celebrations and get a proper taste of the culture.
Longer days: More daylight means more holiday. You can squeeze in a morning hike, a full beach day, AND a sunset dinner without rushing. June's got those proper long evenings where you can sit outside with a drink until 10pm. Bliss.
