Guests of the Salamander Middleburg now have an elevated way to cool off on hot days. The resort has opened its Champions Pool, and it offers an array of amenities.

The new pool features a 40‑foot infinity‑edge waterfall linking the upper‑level family pool to the adults‑only section below. It also includes heated pools, in‑pool loungers, and hot tubs on each deck.

Guests will also find family and adults‑only cabanas with fans and mini fridges, a 20‑person fire pit, two outdoor showers, and a retail boutique. The new pool area can also accommodate private events for up to 400 guests.

Poolside dining is available at The Stirrup Cup, which offers a full‑service kitchen and bar. Designed by the resort’s culinary team, the menu features salads, small plates, burgers, sandwiches, desserts, and frozen treats. Beverage options include an array of cocktails and mocktails.

“Champions Pool reflects the spirit and direction of Salamander Middleburg’s future,” Sheila Johnson, founder and CEO of Salamander Collection, said in a release. “From the beginning, my vision has been to create fun spaces where people can connect deeply — with nature, with each other, and with themselves.”

The pool is open to Salamander Middleburg guests as well as homeowners at the Residences at Salamander.
