The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

Dazzling, white sandy beaches greet guests to The Henderson, the most elegant and opulent anchor of The Henderson Beach Resort in sunny Destin, Florida. With a focus on connecting to the natural beauty surrounding the resort, the furnishings, architecture, and location itself provide the perfect backdrop for the ideal beach getaway. From a sunrise over the Emerald Coast and day by the pools to an evening beach stroll followed by sipping a cocktail on your private balcony, The Henderson caters to every traveler’s needs. The Henderson is ideally situated along the pristine beaches in Destin, adjacent to The Henderson Beach State Park - a 208-acre, environmentally protected preserve. Guests…

Florida’s Emerald Coast sparkles even brighter thanks to The Henderson. A destination that was already a family favorite with its snow-white sand and warm emerald waters, the 170-room resort adds more charm with three pools, recreation activities and kid's night out offerings to give parents quiet moments for quality time. Original works by local artists adorn the hotel walls and comfortable coastal furnishings bring each space to life. Explore in your own way whether you paddle board, enjoy a bike ride, or find well-being in the rejuvenating spa. Experience the area's finest Gulf seafood and other exquisite dishes at five dining outlets.
