Lodge Spirit of Bali – 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 Lodge Spirit of Bali redefines what a truly secluded stay in the Verdon can be. From 250€ per night, two guests enjoy an entirely private space: a 240 m² outdoor living area, a 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 is not displayed — it is felt. In the silence of the Provençal Verdon, amid 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: every detail has been considered so that nothing disturbs the tranquillity of your stay.

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

The Lodge Spirit of Bali 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 essences mingling with the wild scents of the Var, and evening light that transforms every moment into a fully immersive sensory experience.

The 240 m² outdoor living area, with its generous sofas and serene mirror pond, creates an alfresco way of life rarely found in this part of the world. Whether you choose to linger by the private jacuzzi, glide through the saltwater lane pool, or simply let the sounds of the garden wash over you, every corner of the estate invites you to slow down.

Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in the Var, offers a landscape of quiet, understated beauty — 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon and one hour from Marseille. La Noccemada sits within it as an exclusive retreat, far from well-trodden paths, discovered only by those who understand that true luxury lies in space, silence, and an unwavering attention to detail.

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

Each year, the Verdon draws travellers in search of unspoilt nature and authenticity. Yet between the gorge hotels — often shared, lively, and at times family-oriented — and the solitude of a traditional gîte, there has until now been little in the way of alternatives for couples wishing to combine exceptional comfort with absolute privacy. The Lodge Spirit of Bali at La Noccemada fills precisely that gap. Entirely private from start to finish, it offers the independence of a holiday home alongside the service of a luxury establishment: a Michelin-credentialled private chef, an exclusive jacuzzi, a beautifully maintained tropical garden, continental breakfast included, and a team that is attentive without ever being intrusive. Here, you share neither your space, nor your pool, nor your moments. This luxury lodge in the Verdon is for those who have seen everything — and who now seek simply to feel.
