The 2025 edition is shaping up to be a landmark event. According to President of the Collectivité Louis Mussington, this year’s goal is “to reach a wider audience, to increase visibility through more media coverage and content creation, to position the island as a gastronomic destination, and to increase economic benefits for the territory.” With enhanced promotional efforts and a refreshed organizational approach, visitors can expect expanded programming and a higher level of international participation.
Already, several internationally recognized chefs have confirmed their attendance, including representatives from Togo, Spain, Guadeloupe, Canada, and the United States. The event will once again include the signature “Four-Hands Dinners,” where local chefs collaborate with guest chefs to create exclusive dining experiences throughout the island. These one-night-only meals blend global techniques with local ingredients, offering a truly unique taste of St. Martin’s culinary scene.
For festivalgoers, choosing the right accommodation is key to making the most of the experience. Our portfolio of luxury condos and private villas offers guests the kind of elevated experience that mirrors the sophistication of the festival itself. After a day of wine tastings, chef demos, and fine dining, unwind in a private infinity pool overlooking Indigo Bay or relax on the terrace of a chic waterfront suite just minutes from Grand Case—the gastronomic capital of the Caribbean.
With options ranging from romantic one-bedroom suites to spacious multi-bedroom estates perfect for groups or families, we offer personalized concierge services, private chef options, and curated local experiences tailored to your stay.
While food is the centerpiece, the Gastronomy Festival is a cultural celebration at its core. Activities are designed to highlight the fusion of French, Caribbean, and international influences that make St. Martin such a unique destination. Events include mixology competitions, pastry showcases, cooking classes, and live entertainment throughout the island.
Valérie Damaseau, President of the Tourist Office, emphasized the importance of both unity and excellence in this year’s festival: “Gastronomy in Saint-Martin is a social link, a heritage to transmit, and a tool of economic development and influence that we must highlight with passion and professionalism.”
With international interest growing and this year’s festival poised to be the largest yet, premium accommodations are expected to sell out quickly. If you’re planning to attend the 5th Annual Gastronomy Festival this November, we recommend securing your villa rental or condo rental early to ensure a seamless, stylish experience from start to finish.
Treat yourself to the culinary journey of a lifetime—then come home each night to the luxury and tranquility of your private Caribbean retreat.
