Top Reasons to Holiday in the Algarve in June
If you're dreaming of a sunshine escape, June in the Algarve could be your perfect match. With summer in full swing but without the peak season hustle, it’s a wonderful time to enjoy the best of Portugal’s southern coast.
At SandyBlue, we welcome many guests in June – from families with pre-school children to friend groups and couples looking to soak up the sunshine before the busy July and August period. Here’s why we think June is one of the best times to visit.
Glorious Algarve weather
June brings long, sunny days with clear blue skies and average temperatures in the high 20s. It’s warm enough for poolside relaxation and beach days but without the intense heat of July and August. It’s the sweet spot for sun-lovers who still want a comfortable and enjoyable climate.
Everything’s open – but it’s not overcrowded
The Algarve is buzzing in June – restaurants, beach clubs, markets, and local attractions are in full swing. You get the full summer experience without the crowds. No long queues for boat tours, and it’s much easier to grab a table at your favourite seafront spot.
It’s a great time for families with young children
For families with little ones who aren’t tied to school holidays, June is a fantastic time to travel. The beaches are quieter, temperatures are more manageable, and you’ll find a calmer atmosphere that’s perfect for a more relaxed family holiday.
Everything is in bloom
The Algarve’s landscape is beautifully green and floral in early summer. The wildflowers are still in bloom, the gardens are lush, and the scenery is at its most vibrant. If you enjoy scenic walks or outdoor dining with a view, June delivers the goods.
The beaches are stunning – and peaceful
By June, the Algarve’s beaches are in their prime – golden sand, turquoise waters, and lifeguards back on duty. Yet, many of the quieter coves and stretches of coastline remain peaceful. You’ll often find space to spread out, even on the more popular beaches.
Outdoor living is at its best
With mild evenings and longer days, June is made for outdoor living. Enjoy sunset dinners on your villa terrace, BBQs with friends and family, or a glass of local wine under the stars. It’s a time when villa life truly shines.
It’s ideal for active days out
If you enjoy golf, hiking, cycling, or exploring charming towns like Loulé, Tavira, and Silves, June is a great time to do it all. The comfortable weather makes outdoor activities more enjoyable, and there are plenty of guided tours and experiences running at this time of year.
Book your June Algarve getaway!
Whether it’s your first time in the Algarve or your fifth, June is a truly magical time to visit. With sun, space, scenery and summer energy in the air, it’s no wonder so many of our guests return year after year.
