Henderson Beach Resort Announces Opening

Henderson Beach Resort on Florida’s Gulf Coast is slated to open its doors in Destin, Florida on November 18, 2016.

Located along one of America’s top beaches and also adjacent to a coastal nature preserve, Henderson Beach Resort features 30,000 sf of indoor/outdoor meeting space, a stunning nature-inspired spa, authentic Gulf-to-table cuisine and a spectacular beach experience.

Destin is a burgeoning destination within a one-day drive of Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, and also easily accessible by air.

As the grand anchor hotel, The Henderson features sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico and pristine dunes, as well as a thoughtful, residential design. Guests will enjoy nearly two miles of beach renowned for its sugar-white sand and emerald-green water.
