The Henderson

About Us

Reminiscent of a luxurious grand seaside manor of yesteryear, Henderson Beach Resort is nestled in Destin, Florida overlooking the Gulf and a 200-acre pristine preserve. The finest Florida beach resort to open in more than a decade features a 170-room luxury hotel appropriately named The Henderson, a Salamander Beach & Spa Resort.

Upon arriving, guests are embraced by an old-world charm that is contemplative of the unspoiled beauty of the area, including an expansive Living Room with high ceilings and a wall of windows that faces the maritime forest and beach.

The residential inspiration extends to the spacious guest rooms and suites, and feature luxurious finishes and tasteful custom furnishings as well as sweeping views from gracious balconies and terraces.

The resort's authentic sea-to-table dining experiences serve up the freshest ingredients possible in an elegant, yet comfortable atmosphere. Guest will enjoy a delicious beach view restaurant with a display kitchen, a soaring bar, a poolside grill, sushi bar, outdoor terrace dining with sunset views and an old-fashioned ice cream shop.

The Henderson's destination spa features treatments derived from the Gulf's crystal waters, pristine beaches and indigenous flora. In addition to spectacular relaxation and treatment rooms, there are also specially constructed spa rooms, furnished and equipped with sounds and fragrances of the region.

For those wanting a more active setting, there is a sunlit fitness room and water experiences, including a family-oriented pool with a lazy river and a quiet adult zone.
