An extraordinary retreat in Verdon — A private lodge inspired by Bali
Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
The hidden gem of unique stays in Verdon, known only to a privileged few
Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, near Manosque and the Valensole plateau, and 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon, the Lodge Spirit of Bali offers an experience unlike anything else in the region. Entirely private, enclosed, and designed for two, it unfolds across a 5,000 m² tropical garden with no neighbours in sight. From 250€ per night, continental breakfast included.
Here, the extraordinary goes far beyond architecture — it is an entirely different way of staying. A 240 m² outdoor lounge with oversized sofas and a reflecting pool, a 100% private jacuzzi accessible from 8am to 11:30pm, a strictly adults-only atmosphere, and a private chef with Michelin credentials available each evening at 110€ per person. Welcome to one of the most exclusive lodges in Provençal Verdon.

Spirit of Bali, Verdon
A remarkable stay in Verdon, conceived with the finest attention to detail
The Lodge Spirit of Bali draws its inspiration from the great Balinese estates: spaces that open onto nature, water features, natural materials, and lush tropical vegetation. Nestled among the Provençal hills of Var, this 5,000 m² sanctuary creates an unrivalled sensory retreat in Verdon.
The 240 m² outdoor lounge, with its oversized sofas and reflecting pool, invites you to simply let go. The private jacuzzi hums softly in the background, while the tropical garden stretches endlessly beyond. No roads, no neighbours, no intrusive noise — only the light of Verdon and the silence of the hills.
Captured in every light, from the first rays of dawn to the stars of the evening sky, the lodge reveals a refined aesthetic that blends understated luxury with a deep rootedness in the Provençal landscape. Every angle is an invitation to surrender.
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, grown-up form of the extraordinary, one that refuses to compromise on comfort or intimacy. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is not a shared outdoor retreat: it is an entirely private, enclosed lodge, designed for two people who wish to experience Verdon in truly exceptional surroundings. Set in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in Var, far from any neighbouring property, the 1.5-hectare estate welcomes no more than 6 guests across the entire grounds. This exclusivity is not a marketing promise — it is the daily reality experienced by every guest. Add to this a private chef with Michelin credentials, a 100% private jacuzzi with no time restrictions until 11:30pm, and an ideal location just 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon and 1 hour from Marseille: La Noccemada stands as the definitive destination for a luxury, 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 Var — a quietly perched village at the gateway to the Verdon gorges and on the border of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. This privileged location places you 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 quality of light, while remaining easily accessible from the major cities of the South. It is precisely this balance — between deliberate seclusion and genuine accessibility — that makes La Noccemada such a sought-after extraordinary retreat in Verdon, beloved by epicureans and lovers of unspoilt nature alike.
