Private, fully enclosed estate
1.5 hectares with no neighbouring properties, entirely enclosed. The lodge is set apart from the rest of the estate, ensuring complete privacy throughout your romantic stay.
Adults-only lodge for 2
Queen-size bed, summer air conditioning and winter heating, mini-bar, and a music amplifier. A Balinese-inspired world created exclusively for couples.
Continental breakfast included
Served each morning within the lodge. A gentle start to the day before exploring the Verdon gorges — or simply doing nothing at all.
Tropical garden, private jacuzzi & 240 m² outdoor lounge
A truly unique romantic setting in the Provençal Verdon
The Lodge Spirit of Bali unfolds its 240 m² outdoor lounge between sweeping sofas, a reflecting pool, and lush tropical foliage — a space made for long, unhurried hours spent together, far from the noise of the world.
The private jacuzzi, nestled within the 5,000 m² garden, is one of the few amenities of its kind genuinely reserved for two at a romantic retreat in the Verdon region. No time slots to book, no sharing.
As evening falls, Stephan sets the table beneath the stars. His remarkable career — the Queen Mary, Cap-Ferrat, Geneva — is reflected in every dish: locally sourced produce, a single bespoke menu, served in several courses. A gastronomic dinner that perfectly extends the intimacy of the setting.
BookWhy choose La Noccemada for a romantic stay in the Verdon?
Romantic retreats in the Verdon are plentiful, yet few combine complete seclusion, private amenities, and palace-level gastronomy. La Noccemada holds a singular position: the estate sits just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon, in an exceptional natural setting with no overlooking neighbours. The Lodge Spirit of Bali welcomes only one couple at a time. The jacuzzi is never shared. The chef cooks for you alone. It is this combination of concrete, tangible details — rather than vague promises — that makes La Noccemada the most discreet and exclusive romantic retreat in the Verdon gorges. Please note: the best rate is guaranteed when booking directly, from 15 to 35% less than online platforms.
