Romance at The Henderson Beach & Spa Resort
Destin, Florida | By Chad H. Vorbrich
Located on the “Emerald Coast” in Destin, The Henderson is nestled on property that offers sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico, pristine beaches, dunes, a nature preserve, as well as a thoughtful and respectful design. The Henderson, A Salamander Beach & Spa Resort, is just steps from 200 acres of rare coastal preserve and one of America’s highest rated beaches, stretching nearly two miles of white sugar-sand coastline and emerald hued waters.
Reminiscent of a luxurious grand seaside manner of yesteryear, The Henderson seamlessly blends modern resort conveniences with the nostalgia of Old Florida. Guests arrive in a Grand Courtyard, which leads to an Expansive “Living Room” with high ceilings and a wall of windows, that faces the Henderson Beach State Park & Preserve and beach. Specifically designed to connect guests to the environment, the resort is infused with several quaint gathering areas.
With a selection of gorgeous venues, customized catering, beautiful accommodations and activities to suit everyone on your guest list, the Henderson has everything a bride needs to create an unforgettable experience from the rehearsal dinner to the honeymoon getaway.
