21 best places to visit in June, according to the travel editors
Thought June in the Caribbean couldn’t be done? Sitting niftily outside the hurricane belt, Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao differ from the region’s other islands by enjoying a relatively dry summer. But most people still believe this time of year is a no-go — so expect emptier hotels and more favourable rates. Each island caters to a different traveller: flashy Aruba is all-inclusives on beautiful beaches; wild Bonaire is a diving destination with smart, low-key hotels for recharging; and cultural Curaçao has a distinctly European feel, with its rows of colourful Dutch houses and upscale, colonial-style hotels.
Where to stay: Sandals Curaçao is an all-inclusive resort stretching out across a 44-acre estate. Think sparkling sea views, private pools and gorgeous white sand, all fronting mood-boosting, bright colourful architecture.
21. Mallorca, Spain
Temperature in June: 22°C high; 14°C low

Yes, there are two Balearic Islands on this list. But they really are that wonderful. Mallorca is Menorca’s bigger sister and is wonderfully diverse, from historic Palma to arty towns such as Deià, and the pine-tree-lined hidden coves along the north coast. There are rugged mountains, bright blue waters and snoozy villages to explore. Plus, Mallorca has some of the finest restaurants and hotels in Spain – we love La Vieja de Jonay Hernandez in Palma for playful fine dining and adults-only DINS Santi Taura, also in the capital, for a chef’s table experience.
Where to stay: Cap Rocat is arguably the jewel of Spanish hotel collection, Marugal. Just a few dozen spacious rooms are set across 74 acres over a mile of protected coastline, making it one of the most exclusive addresses on the glitzy Balearic island. Hotel Son Xotano is the hottest new address here since opening its doors in the latter half of the 2025 season – an indulgent invitation to swerve the coast, just for a while, and experience the beating heart of Mallorca’s countryside.
