Champions Pool at Salamander Middleburg reimagines the traditional resort pool as a refined, multitiered outdoor environment.

Designed with intention and elevated in every detail, Champions Pool offers an inviting setting for connection, celebration, and relaxation in the heart of Virginia’s horse and wine country.
