Family Adventures

From adrenaline pumping trail rides through the Virginia countryside, golf lessons on championship greens in the Florida sunshine, and charming Charleston tea parties catered towards tiny hands, our authentic Salamander experiences evoke a sense of pure enjoyment shared best with the ones you hold close. With so much to explore, we’ve put together a guide to our favorite family-friendly activities that you will want to plan for during your stay.

 

Horses

Equestrian Experiences - Middleburg, VA

Your stay at Salamander Middleburg would not be complete without a visit to our beautiful equestrian center featuring a 14,000 square-foot stable with 22 stalls, nine beautiful paddocks and a spectacular outdoor riding arena. Schedule a riding lesson or participate in one of our many programs like Paint-a-Pony where children learn about horse markings and breeds.

Plus, don’t miss the chance to meet the sweetest member of our team, Cupcake the miniature horse. When not in the equestrian center, she joins guests on The Grand Lawn every Friday and Saturday to enjoy pets and photo-ops with all her fans. Parents can also indulge the special Cupcake Cocktail from Gold Cup, topped with rainbow sprinkles, of course.

Beaches and Watersports - Montego Bay, Jamaica

With two miles of beachfront, it’s no surprise that Half Moon offers a variety of seaside activities for guests of all ages.

Plus, when kayaks, pedal boats, paddleboards and snorkeling are all included in your stay, it can be hard to choose which activity to take part in! Make the most of the warm turquoise waters and take a sailing lesson on a Hobie catamaran or get an adrenaline rush with a water-skiing adventure.
