THE BOUTIQUE BEACH FESTIVAL LANDS IN SINT MAARTEN DEBUTS IN SXM WITH A CURATED LINEUP, IMMERSIVE PROGRAMMING, AND ISLAND ELEGANCE — AUGUST 9–10, 2025
Feel the rhythm of the Caribbean this August as Amare & Sunset Festival debuts in Sint Maarten with a bold new vision for boutique music experiences. Co-founded by French music producer Swann Decamme—creator of L’Amour à la Plage, Hall of Fame, and Carte Blanche—and vocalist and producer Alexandra Talarico, this two-day celebration of music, design, and culture unfolds August 9–10, 2025, on the Dutch side of the island. Produced in collaboration with Mad Events, Amare & Sunset Festival transforms two stunning venues with underground electronic music, curated aesthetics, and immersive storytelling—honoring the island’s spirit and the founders’ legacy of place-based events.
Amare & Sunset Festival marks the Caribbean debut of the Amare Festival series, a new international concept blending music, design, and community. While Amare will tour globally, this Sint Maarten edition celebrates the island’s vibrant culture, natural beauty, and deep musical roots.
The two-day celebration will feature world‑class electronic talent, live performances and an island‑inspired culinary journey. From mountaintop views at Rainforest Adventures on Saturday to a seaside escape at Kalatua Beach on Sunday, the weekend unfolds in perfect rhythm. Each day, with distinct dress codes, flows effortlessly from sunlit beats to golden hour magic and into the euphoria of the night.

This year’s lineup is headlined by Joris Delacroix, the internationally acclaimed French producer known for his captivating blend of melodic house and live performance. With over 100 million streams and a reputation for hypnotic, emotionally charged sets, Delacroix brings his signature sound to Sint Maarten for the first time—marking one of the most exciting bookings in the island’s electronic music scene to date.
Joining him are additional headliners Camille Luciani, known for cinematic techno storytelling; Terella, who weaves Italian, Greek, and English vocals into an evocative live performance that blends ancestral memory with modern melodic techno; and Swann Decamme, French music producer and creative director whose emotionally rich sets fuse deep grooves with sophisticated melodic layers. Representing the Caribbean region are Nina Mona (Martinique) and Oscar Rodriguez (Dominican Republic), both celebrated for their deep, soulful selections and vibrant stage presence. Additional regional acts will be announced soon, further amplifying the festival’s mission to spotlight Caribbean talent alongside international names.
"With over a decade of experience in the music and live entertainment industry, and having launched several international concepts, I felt it was time to reimagine what a festival could be. Amare Festival is my renewed vision of celebration — one that blends music with meaningful experiences, wellness, a commitment to environmental consciousness, and the celebration of local craftsmanship through a dedicated village of creators. Co-created with my partner Alexandra, Amare carries the universal language of love and was designed to resonate across coastal destinations on all five continents.”

Amare & Sunset Festival remains mindful of its island setting by implementing sustainable practices—minimizing single-use plastics, promoting reusable cups and eco-containers, and favoring local sourcing, such as Chef Gil Dumoulin’s Sunday menu. The festival also embraces a digital-first approach to schedules and tickets, and designs its venues to preserve the island’s natural landscapes.
“For the very first edition, taking place on the island of Sint Maarten — with two days of programming centered around breathtaking sunsets — I’ve decided to join forces with local promoters Mad Events, giving rise to the name: Amare & Sunset Festival."
