Spirit of Bali Lodge – La Noccemada
The luxury lodge the Verdon has been keeping for a privileged few

Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, nestled within 1.5 hectares of fully enclosed grounds with no neighbouring properties, the Spirit of Bali Lodge redefines what a discreet retreat in the Verdon can truly mean. From 250€ per night, two guests enjoy a completely private domain: a 240 m² outdoor living area, an exclusive jacuzzi reserved for them alone, a 5,000 m² Balinese-inspired tropical garden, and the assurance of encountering no more than six people across the entire estate.

Here, luxury does not announce itself — it is felt. In the silence of the Provençal Verdon, among the scents of the garden and the golden light of the Var, La Noccemada welcomes adults exclusively — epicurean couples in search of genuine intimacy and exceptional gastronomy. A private chef with Michelin credentials, a jacuzzi available from 8am to 10:30pm with no sharing, a continental breakfast included each morning: every detail has been conceived so that nothing disturbs the serenity of your stay.

Spirit of Bali, Var – Verdon
A luxury lodge unlike anything else in the Verdon

The Spirit of Bali Lodge is not simply another place to stay in the Verdon. It is a confidential sanctuary conceived with meticulous attention to detail: Balinese-inspired architecture in quiet dialogue with the Provençal landscape, tropical garden essences mingling with the scents of the Var, and the evening light transforming every moment into a fully immersive sensory experience.

The 240 m² outdoor living area, with its generous sofas and water mirror, creates an alfresco living space rarely found in this part of France. Whether you choose to linger by the private jacuzzi, glide through the salt water lap pool, or simply surrender to the sounds of the garden, every corner of the estate invites you to slow down and breathe.

Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in the Var, offers a landscape of quiet, unassuming beauty, just 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon and an hour from Marseille. La Noccemada stands here as an exclusive retreat, well away from the beaten path, for those who understand that true luxury lies in space, silence, and an unwavering attention to detail.

Book

Why choose a luxury lodge in the Verdon over a traditional hotel?

The Verdon draws travellers each year in search of unspoilt nature and authenticity. Yet between the hotels of the gorges — often shared, lively, and at times family-oriented — and the solitude of a standard gîte, there were until now few options for couples wishing to combine exceptional comfort with absolute privacy. The Spirit of Bali Lodge at La Noccemada fills precisely that gap. Private from first to last, it offers the independence of a holiday home alongside the refinements of a luxury property: a Michelin-credentialled private chef, an exclusive jacuzzi, a lovingly maintained tropical garden, breakfast included, and an attentive team that is always on hand without ever intruding. Here, you share neither your space, nor your pool, nor your moments. This luxury lodge in the Verdon is made for those who have seen it all — and who now seek, above all, to feel.
