An extraordinary setting in the Var to celebrate your wedding anniversary

Why choose La Noccemada for your wedding anniversary in the Var?

Celebrating a wedding anniversary calls for a setting worthy of the journey you have shared together. In the Var, amid vineyards and sun-drenched garrigue, La Noccemada stands apart as one of the few truly exceptional venues to bring together genuine intimacy, palace-level gastronomy and unspoilt natural surroundings. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is entirely private: the jacuzzi, the 5,000 m² tropical garden and every corner of the lodge are yours exclusively, never shared with other guests. The property is adults only, fully enclosed across 1.5 hectares, and welcomes no more than six guests across the entire estate at any one time. It is precisely this rarity that makes La Noccemada an extraordinary wedding anniversary destination in the Var — one that no online booking platform could ever truly capture. Stephan, the estate's private chef, has honed his craft at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, the Hôtel des Bergues in Geneva, and aboard the world's most prestigious luxury cruise liners. His gastronomic dinner — a bespoke menu, locally sourced ingredients, served al fresco beneath the starlit skies of the Verdon at 110€/person — elevates your evening to a culinary experience that very few establishments in the Var can rival. To further enrich your stay, La Noccemada also offers cookery workshops, private gipsy music concerts, couples' massages and watercolour workshops: each a cherished interlude that makes every wedding anniversary truly one of a kind.

• 15-metre saltwater lane pool — open from April to mid-October within a Balinese tropical garden, completely secluded from neighbouring properties.

• Adults only & absolute exclusivity — a maximum of 6 guests on the property, no children, and an atmosphere that is resolutely romantic.
• Bespoke experiences — private gipsy concert from 250€, couples' massage or spa experience at 200€ for two, cookery or watercolour workshop at 100€/person.
• Best rate with direct booking — between 15 and 35% less than major booking platforms, with the lodge available from 250€/night.
• Ideally located — 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, 1 hour from Marseille, 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon, in the heart of the gorges du Verdon.

How to plan your wedding anniversary at this extraordinary Var retreat

La Noccemada is booked directly via noccemada.fr to guarantee the best available rate — between 15 and 35% lower than online booking platforms. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is available from 250€/night depending on the season, with continental breakfast included. For an exceptional wedding anniversary, we recommend booking the gastronomic dinner with Stephan at the same time (110€/person, prior reservation required) and, if you wish, a couples' massage or a private gipsy concert, to craft an evening composed entirely around your desires. If you are visiting in summer, the 15-metre saltwater lane pool is available from April to mid-October. Outside this period, the private jacuzzi and the lodge's intimate warmth offer an equally enveloping experience. Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier is situated in the Var, at 63 route des Rouvières, less than 1h15 from Toulon and 1h45 from the beaches of the Côte d'Azur. An extraordinary wedding anniversary destination in the Var that is easily reached — yet from which one never quite returns the same.
