Silver Shells Beach Resort & Spa
Silver Shells Beach Resort & Spa sits on 31 acres next to Henderson Beach State Park in Destin, FL and it's one of the few resorts on the Emerald Coast that genuinely earns the word luxury. Private beach access, a sprawling lagoon pool with a hot tub, baby pool, and waterfall, Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on-site, and a Silver Shells poolside cabana option for guests who want their own slice of the pool deck.
Destin vacation rentals are available across four towers: St. Barth, St. Croix, St. Maarten, and St. Lucia, each named after the Virgin Islands and offering different floor plans and views of the Gulf. A fifth tower, St. Kitts, is currently under development and will be the final addition to the resort.
