Henderson Beach Resort: A Luxurious Coastal Escape

Nestled along the sugar-white sands of Florida’s Emerald Coast, Henderson Beach Resort offers an elevated coastal retreat with world-class amenities, exquisite dining, and serene spa experiences. Inspired by the distinguished allure of traditions from the past, Henderson Beach Resort, Destin, Florida’s only luxury resort, invites guests and locals to indulge in a treasured collection of experiences, framed by the white sandy beaches of the Gulf. Whether seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a corporate retreat, Henderson Beach Resort offers something for everyone. The Resort’s 170 luxurious hotel rooms and suites provide stunning coastal views and topnotch amenities. For more space, the Resort offers a variety of vacation rentals, including 1-4-bedroom rentals with fully equipped kitchens as well as a cozy cottage with more on the way.

Step into an oasis of tranquility at Henderson Spa, where luxurious treatments and holistic therapies rejuvenate mind and body. The spa offers tailored facials, massages, and body treatments that enhance wellness and relaxation. Whether indulging in a signature couples’ massage or a revitalizing skin treatment, guests will leave feeling refreshed and renewed.

At the heart of the resort’s dining experience is Primrose, which will be reimagined in late May as a Coastal Italian restaurant, blending the rich flavors of Italy with the freshest Gulf seafood. Helmed by Executive Chef Scott Plumbley, Primrose will feature handmade pastas, prime cuts, and locally sourced seasonal specialties, all crafted with an Italian-inspired touch. The extensive wine selection will enhance the refined atmosphere, making it a premier dining destination in Destin. For a more laid-back yet stylish dining experience, Horizons serves craft cocktails, fine wines, and light coastal fare. Overlooking the Gulf, this vibrant lounge and bar is the perfect setting for enjoying sunsets with handcrafted beverages and shareable plates in a relaxed yet refined ambiance.

Perched atop the resort, the Rooftop Bar offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf, making it an iconic spot for sunset cocktails and social gatherings. This open-air lounge serves creative mixology, premium wines, and a curated selection of small bites, providing an unparalleled atmosphere for relaxation and celebration.

For those seeking a day of luxury without an overnight stay, Resort Pass access allows guests to enjoy the resort’s exceptional amenities. Lounge by the pristine pools, indulge in poolside dining and drinks, and unwind in a tranquil coastal setting. It’s the perfect way to experience the resort’s charm and elegance for the day.
