During this four-day international festival nicknamed “ACE”, talented chefs from Anguilla and around the world showcase why Anguilla is the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean through curated epicurean experiences at world-class resorts, villas and restaurants.  The festival draws on the island’s rich history, creativity and Anguilla’s fresh farm- and sea-to-table ingredients.

Villa Alegria owners, Neil and Wendy Freeman founded this ‘labor of love’ with their friends Jerry and Chef Carrie Bogar of Veya. As part of the festival, each year the Freemans and Bogars host a multi-course dinner on Villa Alegria’s oceanfront terrace with Chef Carrie and a guest chef. Chef Carrie has cooked with Chef Noah Sandoval of Michelin-starred Oriole in Chicago, Four-time James Beard Award-winner and owner of New York’s iconic Chanterelle Chef David Waltuck and James Beard Award-winner Chef Zachary Engel of Chicago’s Micheline-starred Galit. We can’t wait to see who she will cook with for ACE 2025!

Anguilla Culinary Experience 2025 will take place April 30 to May 3. Alegria will be in use during those dates. We recommend you stay at our sister resort, Tranquility Beach Anguilla on Meads Bay Beach.
