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.
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.
Camellias Tea Party - Charleston, SC
A true enchanted setting with its beautiful pink hue and crystal chandeliers, Afternoon Tea at Camellias in Hotel Bennett is a must while visiting the Holy City. Our 12 and under guests are treated to a curated offering of kid-approved canapés while our adult guests are invited to indulge in the Crown Tea featuring a glass of sparkling pink bubbles. Our special Princess Tea series, inspired by the most charming fairy tales, adds a touch of royal magic to our signature tea service.
City Explorations - Washington, D.C.
Nestled amongst the nation’s top attractions, museums and monuments, Salamander DC is a convenient base to explore and enjoy the best of D.C. Just steps from the hotel is the experiential art house, ARTECHOUSE. Celebrate the discovery of our universe with their interactive exhibit, Beyond the Light, created in collaboration with NASA to push the boundaries of our imagination.

Family Tee Time - Tampa Bay, FL
Start your day right with a championship golf experience you won’t forget. Innisbrook Resort is home to four award-winning courses, including the Copperhead course which welcomes the world’s finest players each March for the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship. Just learning to play? Ask about the year-round golf instruction programs for juniors, beginners or even the more advanced player. With opportunities for every skill level, your family is bound to make memories on the green.
Adventure on the Slopes - Aspen, CO
Winter wonders await the whole family at Aspen Meadows Resort. Experience the Rocky Mountain slopes at one of Aspen’s four renowned mountains, providing the perfect spot for both novice skiers and beginners to refine their skills and enjoy the fresh powder. After a day on the mountain, retreat to our recently renovated and spacious suites that offer plenty of space for quality family time.
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. Take a walk along the crescent-shaped gem known as Sunset Beach that inspired the name of the resort back in 1954, swim in the sea at Eclipse Beach, and motivate the family to wake up early for panoramic views on Sunrise Beach. 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.
