Virgo: Setouchi, Japan
With a need for perfection and order, a visit to Japan's lesser-known Setouchi Region is a must for this serene sign. Dubbed the "Islands of the Gods," the region is made up of some 3,000 tiny islands and seven prefectures on the Seto Inland Sea: the perfect place for a tranquil getaway. Virgos appreciate learning, and a trip to Setouchi is mentally stimulating: standout actives include the art of bonsai and traditional indigo dying. Exploring the Seo Sea by water is a must, but Earth signs will appreciate a stroll through the manicured Korakuen gardens.
Leo: Montego Bay, Jamaica
Leo's are known for their kind heart, so a holiday with a humanitarian lean will appeal to their generous souls. At the Hyatt Ziva & Zilara Rose Hall in Montego Bay, the community is at the forefront. There's still a spate of white-sand beaches, a seaside spa and all the jerk chicken you can eat, but the all-inclusive resort encourages guests to spend a chunk of their OOO-hours volunteering at local public schools with the Granville Project.
Libra: Charleston, South Carolina
Secluded cobblestone alleyways, stellar oyster bars and a healthy dose of authentic Southern charm makes Charleston the perfect weekend getaway for charming, gentle Libras. Check into a boutique hotel - The Spectator and The French Quarter Inn are personal favorites - then take time to wander the city's Historic District. Since you're in the South, barbecue is requisite: stop into Lewis Barbecue for smoke brisket, or stop into the sunny Basic Kitchen on Wentworth St for some lighter, seasonal fare.
Taurus: Ios, Greece
Taurus signs are stable and grounded, but they still love a good treat-yo’-self moment. Enter the island of Ios. The shimmering Greek island (situated between Naxos and Santorini) is a perfect destination for the sensual sign. Spend your nights at the island's saturation of dance clubs and snack bars, and your days, reclining by the Cerulean-blue waters of the Mediterranean. Make your home base Calillo, a secluded beach resort with many pools, gorgeous views of the oceans, and splurge-worthy suites (many have private pools and waterfalls).
Pisces: Asheville, North Carolina
Pisces love embracing nature, so what's in the cards for this water sign is a getaway full of fresh air and wide-open spaces. Go off the grid in Asheville, North Carolina: a sweet Southern city surrounded by the picturesque Pisgah National Forest. Hiking and biking is a must, as is unwinding at with a cold pint one of the city's many craft breweries. Opt for a pampering moment with The Foundry Hotel's Relax and Unwind package (perfect for the romantic Pisces) includes an in-room tea party (courtesy the local Asheville Tea Company) and a full-body massage and silk polish exfoliation.
