In short
The Amalfi Coast is our first choice for a June honeymoon, with warm sea and fewer crowds than in July. Santorini is just as good, and Bali suits couples who want to go far in the dry season. For the whole year month by month, see our main honeymoon guide.
Our first choice: See rooms at Il San Pietro di Positano
June is wedding month for many couples, and the trip afterwards should not land in a rainy season. The Mediterranean has long, light evenings before the summer holidays fill the beaches, and Bali has just entered its dry season. That gives you a good choice both close to home and far away.
Positano
Il San Pietro has a lift through the cliff down to its own swimming spot.
Amalfi Coast: Il San Pietro di Positano
In June the sea is warm enough to swim, and the boats to Capri and Amalfi run every day. Il San Pietro is set into the cliff east of Positano, with a lift down to a small beach and terraces where dinner is served above the bay. Come before the big holiday weeks and you will find room on the boats.
Best for: couples who want boat trips and a view from the room.

Oia
From the terraces in Oia you look straight across the caldera.
Santorini: Canaves Oia Suites
June brings long days on Santorini, and the sun sets late over the caldera. Canaves Oia Suites is set into the cliffs of Oia, so you can watch the sunset from your own terrace while the crowds gather by the castle ruins. Hire a boat one day and swim in the hot springs by the volcanic islands.
Best for: couples who want sunsets and short distances.

Ubud
The Ayung River runs through the valley below Four Seasons Sayan.
Bali: Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan
On Bali the dry season starts in May, and June is one of the best months, before the European school holidays make the island busy. Four Seasons Sayan sits in the river valley outside Ubud, with villas looking straight into the jungle. Spend a few days here before heading down to the beaches in the south.
Best for: couples who want jungle and temples, with the beach afterwards.
