June Brings Summer – With Sun, Sea and Joy of Life

June marks the start of the summer season on the Costa del Sol – that time of year when the sun, sea breeze and long days invite you to enjoy everything this dreamlike region has to offer.

To help you make the most of summer, we’ve put together a selection of tips – from relaxing beach days to exciting leisure activities. Everything you need to fully enjoy June and the upcoming summer, with sun and sea, in the rhythm of the season.

Sunscreen – Your daily companion

The Andalusian sun is one of the greatest gifts summer has to offer, but its intensity should not be underestimated. Even in the morning, it shines with strong intensity, so reliable protection is essential. A sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is a must – and not just once a day. Remember to reapply regularly, especially after swimming or spending long hours outdoors. Our tip: keep a small tube of sunscreen in your bag or car – your skin will thank you.

Always ready for the beach

On the Costa del Sol, beach trips are often spontaneous. That’s why many of us keep a small beach kit in the car. That way, you won’t miss a minute of sun and sea. Essentials to pack: a light towel, sunshade, sunglasses, hat, cold water – and maybe a good book or music to make the moment even better. If you’re planning to stay longer, think about bringing a change of clothes or a small fan to cool down.

Seasonal fruit – fresh, fruity, perfect

In June, fresh fruit is not only delicious, it’s also the perfect refreshment. Watermelons, cherries, melons, apricots and peaches are in peak season and bursting with flavour. Whether as a post-beach snack or a fruity smoothie to go – with chilled fruit in the fridge, you’ll always be ready. Our tip: prepare small portions and take them on ice – perfect for a hot summer day by the sea.

Keep an eye on the wind

Levante or Poniente – wind plays a bigger role on the Costa del Sol than you might think. Levante brings hot, dry air, while Poniente offers a pleasantly cool breeze. If you know which wind is blowing, you can plan your beach day accordingly. Use apps like Windy or Windguru to check the weather in advance – and decide whether the day calls for the beach or perhaps the pool.

Flip-Flops off – Step into the summer feeling

June awakens the longing for freedom – and you can feel it from head to toe. Leave your flip-flops behind and treat yourself to the unique feeling of walking barefoot through the house, across the lawn or along the warm sand. A small but wonderful way to experience summer with all your senses.

Take a look at the events calendar

June and summer have a lot to offer culturally: local festivals, concerts, night markets and open-air cinemas bring life to the long summer nights. A special highlight is the Night of San Juan on June 23 – a magical celebration with bonfires, music, midnight swims and wish notes sent out to sea. An unforgettable experience not to be missed.

Time for sunsets

With the sun setting after 9:30 PM in June, it’s the perfect invitation to end the day consciously and peacefully. Find your spot by the sea, enjoy a cool drink – and watch the sky light up in glowing colours. These are the moments that make summer on the Costa del Sol truly unforgettable.

Start the day with energy

Early mornings in June are something special: the air is still fresh, the light is gentle and for a brief moment the world feels completely still. Whether it’s a walk at dawn, a round of yoga or a relaxed breakfast outdoors – starting your day calmly and with good energy lets you feel the magic of summer right from the beginning.

Favourite beach bar? Book now!

June also marks the beginning of high season – and the best spots at beach bars get taken quickly. If you want to enjoy the sunset with your feet in the sand, freshly grilled sardines and a chilled glass of white wine, it’s worth reserving in advance. That way you not only get the best view, but also a moment of genuine holiday joy.

Capture the beauty of summer

The light in June is perfect for capturing memories – soft, warm and full of life. You don’t need a professional camera: your smartphone is enough to perfectly capture colours, architecture, plants and the sea. Take plenty of photos, especially of the little fleeting moments. Because those are the ones we love to remember most.
