DESTIN, FL. September 19, 2016 — Henderson Beach Resort, the finest beach resort built on Florida's Gulf Coast in a generation, is slated to open its doors in Destin, Florida on November 18, 2016.

Located along one of America's top beaches in Destin and also adjacent to the 208-acre Henderson Beach State Park, Henderson Beach Resort is one of the first luxury resorts to open along Florida's Gulf Coast in a generation.

“We are thrilled to open our doors to our thoughtfully designed hotel and welcome guests to experience our warm hospitality and comfortable luxury in such a vibrant and storied coastal city,” said Henderson Beach Resort general manager Douglas Hustad.”

The family-friendly resort features a grand anchor hotel appropriately called The Henderson, which features 170 spacious guestrooms and suites, a nature-inspired spa, Gulf-to-table cuisine, lounging bar with a panoramic Gulf views, two refreshing swimming pools, daily recreation activities, children's programs and 30,000 square feet of flexible indoor/outdoor event space and private beach access.

Reminiscent of a luxurious grand seaside manor of yesteryear, The Henderson captures the romance of traditional coastal architecture by complementing the stunning natural backdrop with striking shingles, steep gabled rooflines and a reverence to Florida's nautical history. Guests will enjoy nearly two miles of beach renowned for its sugar-white sand and emerald-green water.
