Holidays in Mallorca in June: pros and cons
Summer is confidently coming into its own and hurries to warm up the sea near the coast, intensify the action of the sun's rays and rid tourists of rain and winds. Reviews about holidays in Mallorca in June are enthusiastic: magnificent landscapes, weather, gorgeous beaches and azure sunny skies do not leave even the most demanding tourists indifferent.
Here are some other advantages of travelling to Mallorca in early summer.
- Prices have not yet peaked, and the weather suits a full beach holiday. So a trip in June, especially in its second half, will also be profitable.
- The weather is not stably hot: temperature fluctuations happen, and a comfortably warm one replaces a hot day. And in the evenings you will not have to languish in the heat — at this time we recommend taking a couple of warm clothes with you for the evening promenades.
- Tourist activity will only peak in a month, so for now, you can enjoy empty hotel rooms and uncrowded beaches, although this will change considerably by the end of the month. The number of visitors to the island is growing inexorably every day of the summer.
We will also name some of the disadvantages of travelling so that we can take them into account when choosing the time of the trip.
- The water in the sea warms up well only towards the end of the month. At the beginning of June, there is a chance that it will still be cold for swimming. Although there are seasons when in early summer, the water temperature is high enough and perfect for the official opening of the beach season.
- The number of tourists by the end of the month increases significantly, respectively, by this time the prices for holidays increase.
- There are days when the air temperature rises above +30 ° C, so it is worth remembering that it is better to go to the beach in the morning and evening hours, and sightseeing, in this case, will have to be postponed to a cooler day.
Weather in Mallorca in June
The weather in June and July corresponds to the peculiarities of the high season, the height of holidays season and beach holidays. It is pretty hot during this period, although the evenings are still chilly. It's a good thing: after the heat of the day, you want to take a break and breathe fresh air so that you can go for another dose of ultraviolet light on the perfect Majorcan beach the next day.
The weather at the beginning of June is still unstable, similar to May. There are days when the thermometer doesn't show above +20 °С during the day and at night approaching the mark of +15 °С.
This period is ideal for sightseeing and walking.
Daytime temperature in Mallorca in the middle of June confidently rises above +25 °С and sometimes can reach 30-degree marks. Night temperatures are also increasing, more and more often keeping the thermometer at +20 °С.
The weather in Mallorca at the end is characterised by hot temperatures above +30 °C during the day and 20 - 24 °C at night. Do not forget that beach holidays on such days should be dosed and with the use of sunscreen.
Air and water temperature
The Mediterranean climate, in the zone of influence in which the island is located, is characterised by hot and dry summers, which confirms the holiday season in Mallorca. The maximum daily temperature for the last few years reached +35 °С, and the minimum night temperature was +13 °С.
Air temperature in Mallorca in June
The average daytime temperature in Mallorca in June is +27.5 °C, and night temperature is +19.5 °C. You can safely enjoy a beach holiday, sunbathe or take walks. Still, on scorching days it is better not to forget about caps and sunscreen — the baby's delicate skin is mainly exposed to UV radiation.
Water temperature in Mallorca in June
The waters of the Mediterranean Sea, which washes the largest island of the Balearic archipelago, warm up enough in June to allow bathing for both adults and children. The only exception is the beginning of the month when the water temperature can be only +19 °С - +20 °С; on average, in June, it warms up to +22,6 °С.
Precipitation
Mallorca's summer is the driest season of the year, so there are hardly any rainy days in June (no more than one in the whole month). The total rainfall is 21.9 mm, so you can leave your umbrella at home.
Sunny, cloudy and overcast days
The amount of daylight received in Mallorca in the first summer month is 14.8 - 15 hours. It is worth noting that the sun is tireless during the month: in June, it does not leave the sky for 27 days (90%). There are no cloudy days in this period, and there are no more than three days with variable cloudiness, about 10% of the total number of days in the month.
Beach holidays
Mallorca's beaches are as clean, varied and cosy as anywhere else. Noisy and secluded, with developed infrastructure and almost pristine — the island's shores will always find their admirers. The main thing is that the water in the sea has time to warm up to a comfortable temperature for swimming, and then — welcome to those paradisiacal places familiar to everyone from pictures!
Beach Illetes
A well-equipped and clean beach is located in the village of the same name, located near the capital of the island of Palma. In the immediate vicinity, you will find two hotel complexes. The entrance to the sea here is smooth sandy, a long shallow near the coast, due to which the water warms up faster. It has everything for a comfortable stay: entertainment, sun lounger rentals, showers and toilets. You can eat in a cafe right on the territory of the recreation area.
Cala Mondrago
The beach is a slight stretch of white and soft sand. It is located right on the territory of Mondrago Central Park in the south-eastern part of the island. Construction is forbidden here, so lovers of unspoilt nature have an excellent opportunity to admire it.
The beach has gently sloping entry into the water and perfect for swimming with babies. Cala Mondrago is famous for this reason and is crowded in the high season.
Cala Mondrago is also a unique place for divers, as the water in the area is particularly clear.
Tour Holidays
Arriving in Mallorca at the beginning of summer, you don’t have to worry — you definitely won’t get a monotonous vacation. The weather favours both beach and sightseeing pastimes. Plan your leisure program depending on the weather conditions: devote a hot day to the beach, and on a sunny day, admire mysterious castles, amazing gardens and unforgettable sea views.
Alfabia Gardens
Whether it's a hot day in early June or not, the Alfabia Gardens is a must-see for a family. Beautiful plants, streams and fountains have retained much of their original beauty. It is a place where you can observe a mix of Arabic, Italian and English styles.
Exquisite plane trees greet you at the entrance to the estate, while 32 columns and 24 fountains lead you deep into the garden, where a viewing platform offers a magnificent view of the olive groves and the mountains around them.
Beyond the walkway is an English-style garden with a lovely corner called the Queen's Garden. This place is famous for festivals and celebrations.
Historic train ride
The Palma de Mallorca-Soller train, an unusual attraction in its own right, can take you directly to the gardens. It is a transport vehicle with more than a century of history, preserving its original interior. The journey lasts about an hour with the old-fashioned rattle of the wheels. Through the panoramic windows of the carriages, you can see citrus groves, olive orchards and amazing landscapes drenched in bright Spanish sunshine.
The train runs from each starting point six times during the day. So if you decide to take a sightseeing trip in June, you can choose any time during the day.
Western Water Park
By the end of June, summer is in full swing in Mallorca, and it's a great time to diversify your beach holiday with a trip to a water park. A true western-style adventure awaits you, with pools for the little ones and a giant Jacuzzi, with the chance to go down the breathtakingly tallest waterslide on the island.
It combines a water theme park and a Wild West theme park. Other attractions include shows by the organisers, underwater exhibitions, falconry, pony rides and delicious food in one of the restaurants.

On the night of 23-24 June, Mallorca celebrates the beginning of summer — the Feast of San Juan: the real heat is believed to come at this time. The local beaches gather thousands of guests in the afternoon to entertain them and dip them in their playful waves before lighting bonfires in the evening and ending the fun only by morning.
At the end of June, on St Peter's Day, the island's harbour towns delight fishermen and all seafood lovers with the Sant Pere festival. Ritual processions in the streets honour the saint who is the patron saint of fishermen, music venues host fun performances by artists, and street food vendors organise fish tastings. The festive procession also takes place on the sea, with flotillas of decorated longboats and schooners moving solemnly along the sea.
Cost of vacation in June
With the beginning of summer, the popularity of holidays on the island only grows, so prices in Mallorca in June match the demand. During the month, the beaches are packing up with vacationers, hotel rooms are sold out, and tourist activity reaches its peak by July. That is how Mallorca's high season begins.

Tour operators do not restrain the growth of prices; on the contrary, they raise them almost every subsequent month. Thus, the cost of tours in June, compared to May, increases by nearly 30%. It is better to take care of your holiday in advance to save a little money.
Airfares
Prices for air tickets in June rose by 16% compared to the previous month. So if you plan a holiday in Mallorca, we recommend buying tickets in advance. Moreover, it is worth considering that the upward trend will not stop: in July, the flight price will increase by another 8%.
An excellent option for saving money is to take advantage of low-cost company offers.
Accommodation
For accommodation for one person per night in June you will pay on average about 211 euros, which is not much more than in May. In July, however, there will be a significant price increase, on average by 20-25%.
Food and Transport

Where else can you savour authentic Spanish gazpacho, freshly caught prawns and mussels or speciality paella? Whether it's famous soups based on local recipes or unusual tapas, there's food to suit all tastes and wallets.
In small cafes, lunch for one will cost you about 15-20 euros, but in a restaurant, expect to pay twice as much. Be aware of portion sizes — they are usually quite large.

For travelling around the island, tourists can access any transport: train, taxi or rented car, but the bus is the main and most frequently used. It is convenient to use Intermodal Card, which can be purchased for 20 or 40 journeys, is relatively inexpensive and allows you to travel around the island by any transport.
The main thing to remember is that Majorca is divided into 30 transport zones, and the fare (and the cost of card, respectively) depends on the number of crossings of their borders.
Tips for holidays with children
Travelling to Mallorca with a baby in early summer is a good idea; the main thing is to remember the peculiarities of this period and clearly understand what awaits you in the resort.
In the first half of the month, the weather is usually not too hot and very comfortable to walk with a pram.
Towards the end of June, the weather gets hotter, the thermometer columns cross the thirty-degree mark more often, and the beaches are finally packed up with tourists — the high season comes to the island. Therefore, if you expect a quiet holiday, choose the beginning of the month or the end of May for your trip.
Evenings in June can be chilly — remember to put a light jacket for your child in your luggage. Otherwise, you don't have to worry: cloudy days and rain are almost non-existent in June. The island has plenty of sports and children's activities, and the June holidays will only add variety to your holiday programme.
