The Anguilla Culinary Experience (ACE) is a new, five-day international festival.
This May, talented chefs from Anguilla and around the world will showcase why Anguilla is the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean through curated epicurean experiences at world-class resorts, villas and restaurants that draw on the island’s rich history, creativity and fresh farm- and sea-to-table ingredients.
If you appreciate food as a chance to celebrate life, make friends and create lasting memories, we hope you will join us at ACE!
Kick off the festival in style and awaken your taste buds at the Ultimate Barefoot Luxury Escape Party at Belmond Cap Juluca on Maunday’s Bay. Sponsored by Tradewind Aviation.
Mingle with your fellow ACE travelers and our chefs, as you enjoy this beautiful beach oasis, delectable refreshments and live music.
Local and guest chefs will collaborate to present exclusive, multi-course epicurean feasts at some of Anguilla’s most luxurious private villas and 5-star resorts.
Limited to only 20 adults at each venue, these intimate experiences will feature a bespoke menu paired with the perfect wines and live music.
Get to know your chefs as you enjoy an evening of conversation and cuisine in a one-of-kind location.
Our guest chefs team up with local chef talent to prepare special Prix Fixe menus at select award-winning restaurants.
Enjoy the freshest food, as our chefs will be serving from Anguilla’s cornucopia of farm-to-table, and sea-to-table ingredients.
Sip on a curated selection of varieties and preparations of rosé while enjoying delicious small bites at Auberge Resorts Malliouhana on Meads Bay Beach.
Cap off ACE with some fun in the sun at a traditional Anguilla beach barbeque.
Compare local grillers' signature sauces and techniques as you sample fresh-grilled fish and succulent ribs or chicken, all washed down with a cold beer or crisp wine.
Then watch our award-winning Anguilla Culinary Team go head-to-head in our Battle-on-the-Beach mystery basket cooking competition.
Retreat to the famous Rhum Room at Zemi Beach after hours as part of your VIP package experience.
Savor selections from the resort’s more than 100 small-batch, single-estate rums that recall the Caribbean’s 18th century sugar cane plantations.
A critical part of our mission is to support and inspire the next generation of Anguillian chefs. We believe that the way to maintain and continue Anguilla’s legacy of producing top talent, is to give these opportunities to aspiring young people.
We’ve committed a portion of all the proceeds of the Anguilla Culinary Experience to support culinary and hospitality training for young Anguillians.
