The Location
Known colloquially as “the Vegas of the Caribbean,” Saint Martin offers its guests beach clubs, casinos, pool parties and stellar landscapes to explore. The island is revered for its tourism, with travelers snorkeling, sampling the renowned fusion cuisine, and lying out at the gorgeous nude beaches. Discovered by Christopher Columbus, the island was divided between Dutch and French sides in the 1600s. Over the decades, the French and Dutch nationals blended with the Creole native population to serve up a true mixing pot of cultures.
A Rebirth
SXM Festival gained prominence over its first two years with its beautiful location and the festival’s keen attention to detail. Though right as SXM was catching stride, tragedy hit when the category 5 hurricane, Irma, made landfall. Irma tore through the paradisiac isle damaging an estimated 90 percent of structures on the island and preventing SXM from taking place in 2018. The nationwide reconstruction effort has been swift and effective, with the majority of the island being repaired in only a few months. With the island returning to form, the 2019 edition seeks to become the best yet.
