Azores in June: where to stay, what to do and why this is the perfect month to visit

Why choose June?

June slides gently into the Azorean calendar. Days stretch until about 9:30 p.m., temperatures hover between 18 °C and 24 °C, and the Atlantic lingers near 20 °C, warm enough for an unhurried swim, yet still free of summer crowds.

Even better, many premium stays remain available; in a few short weeks those calendars will vanish in a click.

Where to stay in the Azores this June

If a getaway is on your mind, the island of Pico delivers stays that blend authenticity, comfort and scenery you won’t soon forget:

Pico Island Villas 2

Set among UNESCO-listed vineyards and lava walls, this villa puts you inside the landscape, not merely beside it.

Villa Mistério

A retreat where the Atlantic knocks at the door and São Jorge’s profile shifts with the light. The natural lava-rock pool is only the opening act.

Adegas do Pico

Stone houses carved from basalt and restored with respect for their original lines. A raw, serene way to feel Pico as it is.

Casas Goulart

Three independent hideaways at the water’s edge, ideal for anyone who needs silence, a wide horizon and time well spent.

What to do in June

Whale and dolphin watching

Sperm whales stay all year, from April through early June there’s a chance of meeting blue and fin whales as well, plus playful pods of dolphins that often escort the boats.

Walk the Criação Velha Vineyard Trail

Lava and history side-by-side on a route that, in June, you may have almost to yourself.

Taste local verdelho

Sip wine in the very cellars where it is born, between basalt soils and the island’s laid-back hospitality.

Tour with eMove AZ

100 % electric, automatic vehicles, quiet as Pico itself.

Practical tips

Ferries between Pico, Faial and São Jorge run 4–6 times a day.

Pack a light jacket; quick showers are part of the charm.

Book lunch and dinner tables in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to swim in June?

Do I need travel insurance?

Always a smart idea—covering delays, cancellations and medical care.

Calm seas, uncrowded trails and wine poured where it’s made: June is the Azores distilled. Whether you’re after Atlantic downtime, lava-lined paths or a taste of genuine island life, this is the moment, before the summer rush—to feel the archipelago at its purest.
