THE HENDERSON BEACH RESORT & SPA
The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa is one of the finest resorts built along Florida’s Gulf Coast in a generation. The sweeping resort overlooks Destin’s famed sugar-white sands and emerald-green waters.
Located along one of America’s top beaches and adjacent to a 208-acre environmentally protected state park, The Henderson is reminiscent of a grand seaside manor of yesteryear. It captures the romance of traditional coastal architecture by complementing its stunning natural backdrop with striking shingles, steep gabled rooflines and a design reverence to Florida’s nautical history.
The resort features 170 spacious guestrooms and suites, a nature-inspired spa, Gulf-to-table cuisine, an octagonal bar with panoramic Gulf views, a rooftop bar, two outdoor swimming pools, 30,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space, and private beach access.
From the moment guests arrive at The Henderson, they are embraced by a residential and old-world charm that is contemplative of the surrounding, unspoiled beauty of the area. The lobby feels like an expansive living room with high ceilings and a wall of windows that faces a maritime forest and the beach.
The interior feels like it has been part of the coast’s landscape for over 100 years and showcases wooden floors and reclaimed beams and trusses. Specifically designed to connect guests to the environment, the resort is infused with several intimate gathering areas and commissioned artwork created by local and regional artists.
The guest rooms and suites include stylish furnishings yet remain authentic to the local, cultural surroundings. Larger than typical luxury resort guestrooms, they include custom furnishings, luxurious bedding, elegant bathrooms featuring louvered shutters and generous balconies or terraces.
The Henderson celebrates Destin’s Gulf-to-Table seafood traditions at its Primrose restaurant, named for Destin’s first commercial fishing boat. In addition to fresh catches bought daily from fishermen, the menu offers fine selections of steaks, chops and shareable plates. The open-kitchen design restaurant also features a sushi bar and extensive outdoor terrace seating.
With a striking octagonal-shaped design, Horizons Bar presents signature cocktails, panoramic views of the Gulf and adjacent nature preserve.
