Spirit of Bali, Verdon
A remarkable Verdon retreat crafted with meticulous attention to detail
The Lodge Spirit of Bali draws its inspiration from the great Balinese estates: open volumes embracing nature, the play of water, natural materials, and lush vegetation. Nestled amongst the Provençal hills of the Var, this 5,000 m² sanctuary creates an unparalleled sensory cocoon within Verdon.
The 240 m² outdoor lounge, with its oversized sofas and mirror pond, is an invitation to surrender entirely. The private jacuzzi murmurs softly in the background, while the tropical garden stretches endlessly before you. No roads, no neighbours, no intrusive noise — only the light of Verdon and the silence of the hills.
Captured in every light, from sunrise to the stars of the evening sky, the lodge reveals a refined aesthetic that marries understated luxury with a deep rootedness in the Provençal landscape. Every angle is an invitation to let go completely.
BookWhy choose La Noccemada for an extraordinary stay in Verdon?
Verdon offers many forms of unusual accommodation: tipis, yurts, suspended tents, treehouses. La Noccemada offers something altogether different — a sophisticated, adult take on the extraordinary, one that refuses to compromise on comfort or intimacy. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is not a shared outdoor retreat: it is a fully private, enclosed lodge designed for two guests who wish to experience Verdon in truly exceptional conditions. Set in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in the Var, away from any neighbouring properties, the 1.5-hectare estate welcomes no more than 6 guests across the entire property at any one time. This exclusivity is not a marketing claim — it is a daily reality lived by every guest. Add to this a private chef with Michelin credentials, a 100% private jacuzzi available without time restrictions until 11:30pm, and an ideal location 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon and 1 hour from Marseille: La Noccemada stands as the definitive destination for a high-end, extraordinary stay in Verdon.

Where is La Noccemada located in Verdon?
La Noccemada is situated at 63 route des Rouvières, in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in the Var — a quietly perched village at the gateway to the gorges of Verdon and on the border of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. This privileged setting places guests just 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon, 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, 1 hour from Marseille, 1 hour 15 minutes from Toulon, and 1 hour 45 minutes from the beaches of the Côte d'Azur. The estate is sufficiently secluded to offer a rare silence and exceptional quality of light, whilst remaining easily accessible from the major cities of the South of France. It is precisely this balance — between chosen seclusion and genuine accessibility — that makes La Noccemada such a sought-after destination for discerning epicureans and lovers of unspoilt nature alike.
