Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
The Verdon's best-kept secret in luxury accommodation
Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, nestled within a 1.5-hectare estate with no neighbouring properties, La Noccemada offers a truly rare experience in the Verdon: a fully enclosed, Balinese-inspired private lodge reserved exclusively for two. From 250€ per night, including a continental breakfast, the Lodge Spirit of Bali redefines what a luxury bed & breakfast in Provence can be — far removed from formulaic hospitality, and close to what truly matters.
Here, luxury is not displayed — it is felt. In the silence of a 5,000 m² tropical garden, before the still waters of a 240 m² outdoor living space, or immersed in a private jacuzzi accessible from the first light of dawn. Only a privileged few may stay on the estate at any one time — never more than six guests in total. This is the quiet exclusivity of the Provençal Verdon.

What makes this experience unique
Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
100% private jacuzzi
Reserved exclusively for the lodge's occupants, with no sharing and no time-slot restrictions. Accessible from 8am until midnight, it forms an integral part of a 240 m² outdoor lounge set within the tropical garden.
Salt water lap pool
15 metres in length, natural salt water, open from April to mid-October. The pool is shared with the owners in the spirit of an exceptional maison d'hôtes, set within an entirely unspoilt estate.
Gastronomic dinner under the stars
Each evening, Stephan — a private chef with Michelin-starred credentials — serves an exquisite gastronomic dinner al fresco, at 110€ per person. A set menu crafted from locally sourced produce from the Verdon and Provence, served across several courses. Reservation required.
Private estate with no neighbouring properties
1.5 hectares, fully enclosed, in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier. No noise, no overlooking views, no passing traffic. The estate welcomes a maximum of six guests at any one time — a level of privacy that very few luxury properties in the Verdon can truly guarantee.
Adults-only Balinese-inspired lodge
The Lodge Spirit of Bali is designed exclusively for couples. A queen-size bed, a private shower room, summer air conditioning and winter heating, a mini-bar, and a music amplifier. Every detail conceived for the serenity of two.
Continental breakfast included
Each morning, a continental breakfast is served at the lodge — a gentle, unhurried start before a day spent in the Verdon gorges, at Lac d'Esparron, or simply lingering within the estate's tropical garden.
Spirit of Bali – Verdon
A tropical garden, a private jacuzzi, a gastronomic table
The Lodge Spirit of Bali unfolds across 5,000 m² of tropical garden in the heart of the Var countryside. Bamboo, Mediterranean species, a still-water mirror pool and generous outdoor sofas compose a setting of absolute tranquillity — just minutes from the Verdon gorges.
As evening falls, Stephan sets his table outdoors. Beneath the stars of the Var, the gastronomic dinner becomes an experience in its own right: a daily set menu, the finest Provençal produce, and attentive service. This is no caterer — this is a palace chef, at your private table.
The jacuzzi glowing at dusk, the salt-water lap pool bathed in natural light, the 240 m² outdoor lounge: every space within the lodge has been conceived so that two people have every reason to stay — and only the Verdon itself as an excuse to venture out.
BookWhy La Noccemada stands apart as a luxury bed & breakfast in the Verdon
The Verdon is home to many charming properties, from lovingly restored farmhouses to grand Provençal bastides. La Noccemada occupies a singular position: that of a discreet, luxury bed & breakfast conceived not to welcome as many guests as possible, but to offer a handful of discerning visitors an experience of complete intimacy. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is not simply another room — it is an entirely private space, with its own jacuzzi, its own 240 m² outdoor lounge, and its own tropical garden. The 1.5-hectare estate, fully enclosed and with no neighbouring properties in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, ensures a level of calm and exclusivity that is rare in the region. The property never hosts more than six guests in total, across all accommodation combined. Add to this the presence of Stephan, a private chef with Michelin-starred credentials, available each evening for a gastronomic dinner served under the open sky, and it becomes clear why La Noccemada appeals to those who seek far more than a simple stay in the Var.
