What is your ideal holiday plan, according to your Zodiac sign?
Do you identify with your horoscope? If so, you might already sense that the perfect holiday according to your Zodiac sign connects with that part of you moved by cosmic laws, capable of leading you to incredible destinations. Just be alert to its call: a travel guide written in the stars. Or perhaps it's the reason (yet another) you needed to explore the world? Regardless, what matters is the impulse; that endless desire to travel, a part of your astral personality just like any other trait.
In the following lines, you may discover holiday plans you hadn't considered, but that make sense when they appear on your horizon. And, as Iberostar hotels cater to all types of travellers (Geminis included), this article will also suggest suitable accommodations for each zodiac archetype.
Aries: Amazon Expedition
Adventurous and bold by nature, Aries is ruled by the fire element. They greatly value their freedom and are always on the side of action. The thirst for discovery, spontaneity, and enthusiasm define their travel style. An expedition through the Amazon, a dynamic forest ecosystem as vibrant as they are, will stimulate their wild side and help balance their energy with the calming view of the tropical vegetation and the river. Its banks sustain endangered plants like the ancient Shihuahuaco or the red flower of the bromelia, which shares Aries' colour.
Grand Amazon Expedition, a superior floating hotel departing from Manaus, Brazil, offers three distinct itineraries. Onboard, you'll have an immersive experience, exploring the richness of local indigenous cultures with day and night excursions led by local guides. Plus, you can ethically spot the most astonishing Amazonian fish and enjoy the best of its cuisine, where each dish tells a story. As a true Aries, you'll want to savour them all.
Taurus: Gastronomy and Wellness in Mallorca
If you were born under the influence of Taurus, a holiday destination according to your star sign should offer those sensory pleasures you love, like quality food or a moment of relaxation and care. Venus, your ruling planet, endows you with an extraordinary sense of beauty; while the earth element connects you to the physical. Thus, a couples’ plan (or just for you) of gastronomy and wellness at one of the best spas in Mallorca will cultivate your innate sensuality.
Iberostar Selection Llaut Palma, a five-star accommodation designed especially for adults, is located in Playa de Palma. Surrounded by a pine forest and facing the Mediterranean Sea, SPA Sensations, with over twenty treatments on the menu, spans 1,300 square metres of pure hedonism. It features two saunas, a Turkish bath, hydro wellness circuit, jacuzzi, relaxation area, and an outdoor terrace. Katagi Blau, located on the rooftop, is one of the most romantic Mallorcan restaurants of the moment, with an original fusion cuisine concept by chef José Pellegrino. Booking a table at sunset to toast with a signature cocktail while delighting in its dishes and views will nourish your body and soul.
Gemini: Journey to the Centre of Mythology in Crete
Curiosity and attraction to history and stories make Gemini a mental sign, communicative and prone to deep reflections. Although they are often said to be somewhat contradictory due to Mercury's mutability and the air element, they are very clear about what motivates them, also in travel. Sound familiar? A holiday to an island steeped in the solidity of its legends, like Crete, will ground you, yet allow your imagination to soar.
Crete is a mythical destination where paradisiacal coves of turquoise waters alternate with architectural and narrative vestiges from another era. You'll believe you see how gods and heroes of antiquity mingle with humans, declaring war or their eternal love alike. The duality, also present in twins, kept the world in balance. From Iberostar Selection Creta Marine, a modern and clear five-star accommodation, you'll have access to this fascinating past while reconnecting with yourself in the here and now. The hotel boasts a private beach, as well as three seawater pools and even an underwater music club, complementing the four restaurants and bars of the complex.
Cancer: Family Fun in Riviera Maya
Where to go on holiday according to your Zodiac sign when you possess Cancer's sensitivity and family temperament? Easy: to a place where you can feel sheltered. If, like all water creatures, you consider yourself somewhat shy but at the same time love having fun with your closest circle (preferably in an idyllic setting near the sea), Riviera Maya has it all. In this American destination, you'll understand the customs and traditions of Mexico, visiting its villages and sacred sites, and sunbathing on endless beaches or by the pool, rocked by its landscapes.
There, Iberostar Selection Paraíso Maya Suites, an accommodation designed for the whole family to have fun (including the youngest members). Is it your baby's first time at the beach? Ask about the Star Camp Kangaroo programme, where little ones are cared for and attended by professionals while you enjoy moments of disconnection. The all-inclusive resort where the hotel is located houses its own water park with slides, a lazy river, and even a wave pool. A replica of the Chichen Itza pyramid will welcome you in the lobby, bringing you closer to the Mayan civilization, a culture as collectivist as your dream family holidays.
Leo: Party with Friends in Tenerife
Leo, you don't need any excuse to celebrate (although you love having one, such as your birthday). The good news is that, in a holiday destination according to your sign like Tenerife, the party will last beyond its famous carnival or other red-letter days in the calendar. The most extroverted fire archetype of the Zodiac, the quintessential host, will be happy organising a trip with friends including a party to show them your love and generosity.
The Star Prestige area of Iberostar Selection Sábila, an adult-oriented hotel located in the south of the island in Costa Adeje, features exclusive suite-type rooms, a rooftop pool, a private bar. Other leisure and relaxation areas are reserved for guests staying under this category. Its cutting-edge decor aligns with Leo’s conception of luxury, modern and comfortable. A culinary market with seven world cuisines, including typical Canarian food, enriches its already varied gastronomic offer. Aloe vera, a plant representative of the islands and known for its multiple health benefits, becomes the main ingredient in many of the beauty treatments at its SPA Sensations, perfect for recharging between cocktails.
Virgo: A Suitcase Full of Books to Montenegro
Speaking of Virgo is to speak of a calm and independent sign that values quiet spaces where they can escape their incessant mental activity. For them, spending time alone in nature is a privilege. Sustainable and relaxed holiday plans, like reading, yoga, and walks by the sea, dominated by their earth element, will soothe their nervous system. Where to go according to your Zodiac sign to achieve that state of deep relaxation and, incidentally, read for hours without having to watch the clock? The secret beaches of Montenegro, away from the bustle of other European destinations, will bring you peace.
If Virgo's philosophy presides over your natal chart, you'll also adore the classic elegance, without stridency, of Iberostar Waves Slavija, a five-star hotel located in the historic city of Budva that reflects the splendour of the Venetian Empire. Its panoramic views of Slovenska beach will accompany you from morning to night. In its culinary spaces, you'll taste dishes made from fresh, seasonal products, as well as cocktails and natural fruit juices. And, to continue taking care of yourself, its spa also offers a hammam, an Arab bath, and all kinds of wellness treatments.
Libra: Bike Route through the Algarve
Libra always prioritises good taste, harmony, and calm; also during holidays. Their kindness, energy, and optimism make them a resolute sign, whose positive attitude balances the atmosphere and helps resolve conflicts. If the physical and emotional setting accompanies, their air will caress their travel companions like a pleasant breeze. In the Algarve floats the kind of wind every Libra person loves. You too? Keeping up with that dynamic personality, embarking on a Portuguese bike route with your best friends might be a good holiday idea. Plans that combine sport and laughter with flashes of natural beauty fit with that desire for appreciation that guides you.
After a long day of cycle touring, the hotel Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve, in Meia Praia, will become your favourite maritime haven. The minimalist and intimate aesthetic of its wellness centre is the type of look that, without a doubt, a Libra would choose to focus on their rest. Like the sign of Taurus, you have Venus as your ruling planet: in this accommodation with show cooking in its buffet, typical Portuguese cuisine recipes such as golden cod combine with a selection of international dishes that will stimulate your sybaritic side.
Scorpio: Adventure (and a Touch of Mystery) in Morocco

Specifically, this water sign has the ability to anticipate events. They are drawn to mysteries that even their cunning fails to unravel. If you are Scorpio, your intrepid personality will drag you to enigmatic and eclectic places in search of great adventures… Have you not yet visited Morocco, a Gen Z favourite?

Its location, in the heart of the Palmeral of Marrakech, with over 100,000 palm trees planted by the Almoravid dynasty, will open the doors to Moroccan culture for you.
Sagittarius: Living the Moment in Jamaica
You, Sagittarius, who are so excited by travel, are particularly drawn to places where you have not yet been. The discovery, implicit when you travel to a place for the first time, moves you. You are organised, sociable, and loyal, but your inner fire also has a point of introspection and mysticism. Those destinations where you have the opportunity to let go, work on your spirituality, and live the moment with your loved ones appear before you as a vibrant opportunity to flow with life. On the beaches of Jamaica, your ease of making friends and enjoying each moment as if it were the only one will find its home away from home, among exotic fruits and to the rhythm of reggae.

Despite considering yourself a responsible, prudent, and rational person, you love to let go of control from time to time to see how far chance has a place in your existence... or in your travels. Yes, you love to plan; but you also like to be surprised. You empathise with people, know how to listen, and always take away a learning experience. For this reason, you are captivated by distant destinations, with cultures very different from those you already know. Community tourism, which values local traditions and economies, defining a holiday perspective based on respect for other ways of life, the environment, art, or history, is undoubtedly your thing.
A holiday destination according to your sign to materialise that Capricornian travelling attitude is the Dominican Republic. The trip could begin, for example, with your willingness to know everything about the mangroves, a prodigious ecosystem that protects the coasts from storms and hurricanes and provides refuge to unique biodiversity. From JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar, a superior category accommodation with butler service in select rooms, you could be fascinated by the Dominican mangroves, as well as other habitats such as coral reefs. In the resort, you would visit the Iberostar Coral Lab, where the resilience of corals in the face of the climate crisis is studied. Would you also like to tour the rest of the country? Other hotels in the Dominican Republic would be waiting for you.

And it is on this mystical island that the power of the Caribbean Sea reaches everything. Whether you have already practised diving or not, immersing yourself in its magical universe will align you with that dimension of your personality that flourishes at the sight of water.
