Where to go on a luxury holiday in June

June is the opening of two major luxury seasons. Europe enters summer — the Cyclades, Sardinia, Cote d'Azur and Croatian coast are warm but ahead of August crowds. East Africa's dry season begins, with Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana entering peak game viewing. Iceland, Norway, Greenland and Alaska open for the midnight sun. For long, light days, June is the year's highlight.

June opens the European summer and the East African safari dry season — plus the Arctic, Iceland and Greenland midnight sun.
