Sign up for early access tickets is available until 14th November through their website: https://www.sxmfestival.com/ 
These five days in paradise offer a fully immersive experience tailored to your own desires. Saint Martin offers endless cultural explorations and once in a lifetime island experiences, parties in bespoke and bohemian locations from villas to mountain tops, beaches to jungle clearings, and so much more, all with a focus on inclusivity and environmental conservation.
The island itself is one of the stars of the festival and is proudly spotlighted by the SXM team throughout the week.
In 2025, SXM Festival will introduce three stunning new locations with signature hand-crafted decor and artsy design.

More iconic festival moments will come at the Villa Party, the classic Sunday morning Sunrise party and the famed Panorama Party atop the island’s highest hilltop! These exclusive events, set against stunning natural backdrops, will provide next-level experiences.

It also includes showcases from the renowned house music label Defected, the established Fraublau and the New York sensation Indo Warehouse. 
In a groundbreaking move, SXM Festival is eliminating its VIP program. “We felt the energy last year – everyone wanted to be together, to share the experience. This year, we are one. No VIP program, just music, community, and the island,” says founder Julian Prince. This change reflects SXM Festival’s ethos of unity, providing an equal experience for all attendees. Designated bottle service areas will be available throughout the events and can be booked by contacting Festival Staff directly at [email protected].  
SXM Festival has always been about more than just music – it’s a fully immersive island experience. Get ready for five days of world-class music, unparalleled scenery, and unforgettable moments.
