The Spirit of Bali Lodge, conceived for two, unfolds across 240 m² of private outdoor space, an exclusively private jacuzzi, a 5,000 m² Balinese-inspired tropical garden, and the attentive presence of a Michelin-trained chef. Nothing is shared here. Nothing is left to chance.
Far removed from the standardised campsites and novelty accommodations of the Var, this lodge delivers the experience of a private estate — with the freedom of a stay immersed in the Provençal countryside and the refinement of a grand hotel.

The Spirit of Bali Lodge is nestled within a 5,000 m² tropical garden, conceived as a lush natural sanctuary where Mediterranean and Balinese botanicals intertwine in peaceful harmony. No road noise, no disturbances, no neighbours — only the light of the Verdon and the scent of Provençal garrigue.
The 240 m² outdoor living area, with its generous oversized sofas and water mirror, gradually becomes the heart of your stay: morning reading in the shade, aperitifs at sunset, a candlelit gastronomic dinner beneath a star-filled sky. Every detail has been carefully considered so that the outdoors feels as lived-in and refined as the interior.
If you are seeking something truly rare — a stay for two, immersed in nature, far from the sterile uniformity of conventional hotels — this is it. Here, luxury takes on a different meaning: a reconnection with what matters most, with stillness, fine food, and the simple pleasure of being present, without ever sacrificing comfort. You will enjoy an eco-conscious lodge blending canvas and timber, with a king-size bed, an intimate bathroom, and living spaces designed to draw you effortlessly outside.
🌿 The living area is entirely open-air.
🚿 The bathroom is semi-open in summer and enclosed in winter (in keeping with our ecological ethos: we provide biodegradable shampoo and soap).
🚽 Your private, comfortable WC is located 50 metres from the lodge (without a bidet!).
🌞 Living in harmony with nature's rhythm — Our philosophy is simple: spend your days outdoors (walking, exploring hilltop villages, dozing in the shade, swimming, enjoying a massage…), and as evening falls, surrender to the cool calm of the lodge. The lodge is naturally ventilated. To keep the space refreshing during the day, leave the openings and curtains slightly ajar — the air circulates freely while mosquito nets keep you protected. A mobile air-conditioning unit is installed for the summer months (though the experience is far more pleasant in the shade of the stone pine, on the outdoor sofas in the breeze, or by the pool…). Electric heating is provided for your comfort, and the lodge is perfectly suited to a winter stay.
⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: La Noccemada is neither a self-catering gîte nor a campsite, but a chef-led accommodation without kitchen facilities. Guests are therefore unable to prepare their own meals, use a barbecue, or store food on the premises. No kitchen equipment is provided (no refrigerator, crockery, or cutlery). All food and beverage consumption must be arranged exclusively through us.
If you can already feel the warm breath of Provence, the urge to gaze up at the stars in the open countryside, or simply the desire to find yourselves together in a truly peaceful setting, we would be honoured to welcome you and to make this a memory you will treasure.

Ideal situated between the Var and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, 30 minutes from the Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon and one hour from Marseille, La Noccemada is the perfect discreet base from which to explore the Gorges du Verdon — or simply to explore nothing at all.
Glamping in the Var has long been associated with fitted tents, premium mobile homes, or treehouses nestled within verdant campsites. La Noccemada occupies an entirely different realm: that of the high-end private lodge, where extraordinary accommodation meets the exacting standards of a true luxury establishment. In Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in the heart of the Var, the Spirit of Bali Lodge offers complete immersion within a 5,000 m² tropical garden, with absolutely no compromise on comfort or privacy. The jacuzzi is yours alone, the chef is yours alone, the estate is yours alone. It is this promise — so rare within the Var glamping landscape — that sets La Noccemada apart. Here, luxury does not announce itself; it is simply lived, in the silence of an enclosed estate where only a privileged few stay each season.
La Noccemada is located at 63 route des Rouvières, in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in the Var, at the meeting point of the Provençal Verdon and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence landscapes. Its position makes it one of the most perfectly situated lodges for those seeking luxury glamping in the Var whilst remaining within easy reach of the region's most celebrated destinations: 30 minutes from the Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon, 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, one hour from Marseille, 1h15 from Toulon, and 1h45 from the beaches of the Côte d'Azur. The estate is easily accessible by car from the major cities of the South, and makes an ideal discreet retreat for a long weekend or a week of restorative immersion in the Var countryside. Once you arrive, there is no need to venture anywhere else — the lodge provides everything you could possibly need.
