A Romantic Retreat in the Var — A Private Lodge Away from the World
Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
An exceptional lodge for two, in the heart of Provençal Verdon
Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, set within a fully enclosed 1.5-hectare estate with no neighbouring properties in sight, the Lodge Spirit of Bali welcomes you from 250€ per night. Designed for two and conceived entirely around intimacy, it brings together within a single private space everything one could wish for in a romantic retreat in the Var: a jacuzzi reserved exclusively for your stay, a 240 m² outdoor lounge beneath the stars of the Verdon, and the absolute certainty that no one will disturb you.
La Noccemada never accommodates more than six guests at any one time across the entire property. No children, no neighbours, no compromises. Simply you, a vision of Bali transplanted into the heart of Provence, and the quiet privilege of a confidential address that only a handful of couples discover each week.

Verdon · Var · Provence
A romantic retreat in the Var to be lived as much as admired
The Lodge Spirit of Bali is unlike any other romantic retreat in the Var. Its architecture draws inspiration from Balinese lodges — fine timber, lush vegetation, a reflecting pool, softly diffused light — while remaining deeply rooted in an authentic Provençal landscape, between garrigue scrubland and the gorges of the Verdon.
Every detail has been conceived for couples in search of a discreet sanctuary: the open-air jacuzzi overlooking the tropical garden, the oversized sofa on the outdoor terrace where time seems to stand still, and the gentle Verdon nights, undisturbed by anything at all.
Whether you choose to spend a single night or an entire week, the Lodge Spirit of Bali offers what romantic hotels in the Var so rarely can: a space entirely your own, a chef who cooks for you alone, and a silence so profound you can almost hear it.
BookWhy choose La Noccemada for a romantic retreat in the Var?
The Var is home to no shortage of charming hotels and enticing guesthouses, yet few romantic retreats offer the kind of radical intimacy that La Noccemada provides. Set in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon, the estate spans 1.5 fully enclosed hectares, with no neighbouring properties and no road in sight. The Lodge Spirit of Bali occupies a single-storey private space designed exclusively for two, complete with its own jacuzzi, a 240 m² outdoor lounge and a 5,000 m² tropical garden. No hotel corridors, no shared dining tables, no children on the premises. Simply the essentials of a truly memorable romantic stay: nature, silence, fine cuisine and the person you choose to share it with. From 250€ per night, continental breakfast included, with a best-rate guarantee when booking direct.

A romantic retreat between the Var and Verdon, far from the beaten track
Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier occupies a remarkably privileged position: right on the border between the Var and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, at the gateway to the Verdon gorges, in a corner of Provence still untouched by mass tourism. From La Noccemada, Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon is 30 minutes away, the Verdon gorges are within easy reach for a day's excursion, and Aix-en-Provence is just 40 minutes away for a leisurely day of urban exploration. For couples wishing to combine an intimate retreat with a genuine discovery of the region, the location is ideal. Food lovers will find in chef Stephan a guide as invaluable as any local address book: his cookery workshops at 100€ per person offer a wonderful opportunity to explore the flavours of Provence within the confidential setting of the estate. For discerning guests seeking a romantic retreat in the Var that refuses to sacrifice either intimacy or refinement, La Noccemada offers a singular alternative to the hotels and spas of the region — less outward grandeur, and far more of what truly matters.
