Lanzarote Weather June – Embrace the Early Summer Warmth

Women’s Guide – What to Pack for Lanzarote in June

👗 What to Wear
All about summer: Pack as you would for a beach holiday in a hot country – because that’s exactly what it is. Shorts, sleeveless tops, sundresses, swimwear, repeat. Think light fabrics: cotton, linen, breathable materials. Dark colors might feel hotter, so mix in light colors. You won’t need any heavy clothing. Even jeans might feel too warm in daytime (though can be fine at night if you prefer).

Sun-safe apparel: Given the UV, consider bringing some clothes that cover skin but are lightweight. For example, a thin long-sleeve shirt or tunic for when you’ve had enough sun on your arms, or a sarong/cover-up for the beach to protect your shoulders. A rash vest for kids (and adults) in the pool or sea is great to prevent burns. And definitely bring a broad-brimmed hat or at least a baseball cap – something to shield your face and neck.

Evenings: By June, many evenings you might not need a jacket at all. Still, it’s wise to pack one light jacket or cardigan just in case or for very breezy nights. If you plan to dine at a seaside restaurant, a light layer could save you from a wind chill. But many people find themselves comfortably sitting out in their day clothes at 10pm. Men might bring one pair of long trousers and a light collared shirt for a nicer dinner, women a light wrap to go over a summer dress. But heavy wraps and coats can definitely stay at home.

Beach arsenal: Double down on beach gear: multiple swimsuits, as you might use two per day (one for morning, one for afternoon). Beach towels (if your accommodation doesn’t provide). A beach umbrella or tent if you have babies or need guaranteed shade – though June winds mean umbrellas must be well-secured. Flip-flops, water shoes if you like exploring rocky areas, and maybe a cooler bag if you plan to picnic (you can buy that local though). Also, if you’re sensitive to sun, a beach parasol or pop-up UV tent could be very useful for midday.

💄 Suncream and aftersun: You’ll use lots. Either bring enough or be prepared to purchase more (which you can easily find in shops there, albeit at resort prices). Don’t forget a high SPF lip balm. After-sun lotion or aloe gel is great to soothe skin each evening. Some folks even bring those cooling mist sprays – not essential, but could be nice when sunbathing in hot sun.
Hydration gear: A reusable water bottle that you can refill (bottled water is cheap in Lanzarote – you’ll likely buy big 5L jugs and decant into smaller bottles). Staying hydrated is key, especially if consuming alcohol in the sun (the cocktails go down easy, but remember water too!). An insulated flask for cold water at the beach might be handy.

Miscellaneous: Given the wind, if you wear contact lenses, bring sunglasses or eye drops to avoid dryness from the breeze. If you have long hair, bring hair ties or bandanas – wind tangles hair fast! Consider packing a light scarf or buff – not for warmth, but you can use it to cover your neck or even as a face cover if there’s dust on a windy excursion (e.g., if you go off-roading on a buggy tour). Also, pack any snorkel gear or sports equipment you want, though rentals are available for most activities. Don’t forget a small first aid kit: band-aids (blisters from sandals or minor scrapes), antiseptic, and any personal meds – sun and fun can lead to the occasional scrape.
