LUXURY TRAVEL: WHERE YOUR Star sign TAKES YOU
IT HAS BEEN a while since we let the stars guide our holiday choices, unless they were Hollywood stars and even then we’d take it on advisement.  However this zodiac guide to travel from our friends at booking.com amused us at the tail end of the silly season.
 

So who knows perhaps your star sign traits can provide some insightful inspiration for your next trip away - a destination that’s the ideal fit for you. Maybe your perfect place is written in the stars? Whether you’re a Pisces after a dreamy destination, a fiery Leo looking for a wild experience or a Taurus who likes to indulge here are some starry suggestions on where to travel to next.

 

Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

Water signs can be intuitive, sensitive, intense, emotional and nurturing. Family vacations or getaways with close friends are ideal for water signs – and as Scorpio’s like to truly unwind, Pisces love dreamy destinations and Cancers want to relax and indulge.   

Booking.com recommend a trip to iconic Paris, France to stay in a stylish apartment where you can relax on a boat ride on the Seine, enjoy traditional French cuisine and soak up the romantic atmosphere.

Where to stay:

Booking.com:  Stay in the heart of Paris at the beautifully present Apartments Du Louvre, a perfect home away from home stay. Set in a quiet street in Les Halles the fully equipped apartments boast an ideal location just 650 yards from the Louvre Museum and a short walk to the Champs-Élysées district.

Fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius

Fire signs are (not surprisingly) fiery, energetic, lively, fun and optimistic people. They want an adventurous holiday where they can be constantly on the move, right where the action is. 

A South African safari holiday is the perfect trip – combining beaches and restaurants with traveling across African plains to spot the most incredible wildlife and meeting new people. Booking.com travellers endorsed Port Elizabeth in South Africa for its beach, relaxation and restaurants.

Where to stay:

Booking.com: Dungbeetle River Lodge offers safari-style accommodation right on the banks of the Sundays River. The terrace decks offer striking river views and guests can enjoy a freshly cooked breakfast each morning. This is a great base for exploring what South Africa has to offer and it’s just a few miles from the Addo Elephant National Park.

Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

Earth signs are practical, organised, resourceful, ambitious, and curious. While Taurus’s like to self-indulge, Virgo’s like a detailed itinerary so try a trip to the gorgeous Napa Valley in California, USA. Indulge in food, drink and relaxation to your heart’s content as well as take part in wine tours, horse riding and experience the Napa Valley Wine Train or explore the surrounding countryside.
