Welcome to SXM Festival
SXM Festival is not your typical festival. Rather than being centered around a single festival site, the experience unfolds across the island, from beaches and mountaintops to intimate venues and private villas. The 2027 edition features more than 30 artists in its first lineup announcement, including Bob Sinclar, Claptone, Guy Gerber, Meduza, Sasha, Patrick Topping and Dombresky, with more names still to be announced.
The festival brings together music, nature and the unique energy of Saint-Martin. More than 58 countries are represented among its community, making it a truly international gathering.
Your private retreat at Aura Anse Marcel
For those looking for a more private and luxurious way to experience SXM Festival, Aura Anse Marcel is an official festival partner and home to the exclusive Secluded Paradise Package.
Located on the French side of Saint-Martin, Aura offers private villas surrounded by tropical landscapes, with different configurations and atmospheres to suit your stay.
The idea is simple: experience the energy of SXM Festival, then retreat to your own private space in Anse Marcel.
The Secluded Paradise Package includes:
The package is available for two people in a one-bedroom villa, starting at $547 per person per night, or for four people in a two-bedroom villa, starting at $435.50 per person per night .
From festival energy to your own private paradise
One of the best things about experiencing SXM Festival from Aura is the contrast.
During the day and into the night, you can follow the music around the island, discover new artists, dance by the water and take in the festival’s unique settings.
Then you can return to Anse Marcel. Quiet. Tropical. Private.
Wake up to the Caribbean, take a slow morning by your villa, explore the beach or simply enjoy a little downtime before heading back out for another day of music.
SXM Festival itself encourages visitors to experience the island between sets, from turquoise waters and local food to the culture and landscapes of Saint-Martin.
Aura makes it easy to embrace both sides of the experience: the energy of the festival and the freedom to step away from it.
Where world-class DJs meet the Caribbean
The festival has built a reputation around bringing internationally recognized electronic music artists to unexpected and spectacular locations across Saint-Martin.
And Aura has already welcomed some of the names that have helped shape the electronic music scene. DJ Carl Cox has stayed at Aura, making the villa community part of the SXM Festival story in its own way.
For music lovers, there is something special about knowing that the same island, the same landscapes and the same Caribbean atmosphere that inspire the festival have also welcomed some of the biggest names in electronic music.
Panorama, Villa Party and beyond
The main SXM Festival experience is only part of what happens during the week.
The Panorama Party takes place at the highest mountaintop on the island, combining electronic music with panoramic views and a limited-capacity setting. The Villa Party brings the festival to a luxury island estate for an afternoon of music, style and good energy.
These experiences are part of what makes SXM Festival feel different from a traditional festival: the venues themselves become part of the memory.
And with the Secluded Paradise Package, your access to both Panorama and the Villa Party is included.
Make Saint-Martin part of your festival experience
If you are travelling to Saint-Martin for SXM Festival, consider giving yourself more than five days of music.
Arrive early. Stay a little longer. Explore the island between events.
Discover Grand Case and its restaurants. Spend an afternoon at Orient Bay. Take a boat out on the Caribbean. Explore the French side. Watch the sunset. Slow down before the next party begins.
The festival itself recommends arriving a few days before the event and staying a few days afterward to make time to discover Saint-Martin.
Because SXM Festival is not only about where you dance.
It is about where you wake up, what you discover between sets and the people you meet along the way.
Your SXM Festival starts at Aura
From March 17 to 21, 2027, Saint-Martin will once again become a destination for music lovers from around the world.
Stay at Aura Anse Marcel and make the most of both sides of the experience: world-class electronic music and your own private Caribbean retreat.
