Romantic Lodge in the Var – The Private Retreat That Redefines Intimacy for Two
Spirit of Bali Lodge – La Noccemada
A romantic escape in the Var, unlike any other
Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, set within a one-and-a-half-hectare estate in complete seclusion, the Spirit of Bali Lodge offers an experience that few romantic retreats in the Var can match: absolute privacy, a fully exclusive jacuzzi, a 240 m² outdoor space entirely your own, and a private chef with Michelin credentials who comes to cook at your table beneath the stars of the Verdon. From 250€ per night, continental breakfast included.
Here, the word "private" is not a marketing device. The lodge is fully enclosed, reserved for two guests only, and the property never welcomes more than six guests at any one time. No children, no shared corridors, no neighbours. Only a Balinese-inspired tropical garden, the silence of the Provençal hills, and the attentive care extended to a select few who understand that true luxury is measured in degrees of intimacy.

Spirit of Bali Lodge – Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, Var
A romantic lodge in the Var conceived down to the finest detail
The Spirit of Bali Lodge draws on Balinese architecture and garden design to create an unexpectedly intimate sanctuary in Provence. The 240 m² outdoor lounge, with its oversized sofas and ornamental water feature, invites you to slow down the moment you arrive.
As evening falls, the private jacuzzi takes on an entirely different dimension. The glow of the Verdon hills, the silence of the estate, 5,000 m² of tropical garden stretching as far as the eye can see: a romantic stay in the Var has seldom felt so far removed from the ordinary.
And when Stephan sets the table beneath the stars for a multi-course gastronomic dinner, the Spirit of Bali Lodge ceases to be merely a place to stay and becomes the memory of an evening long cherished.
BookWhy the Spirit of Bali Lodge stands in a class of its own among romantic retreats in the Var
Romantic lodges in the Var are plentiful. Many offer a jacuzzi, a carefully considered décor, a night away from the everyday. The Spirit of Bali Lodge offers something altogether different: a complete stay experience, on the scale of an entire private estate, where every detail has been conceived so that two people may live something truly extraordinary. The jacuzzi is private — not shared with other rooms, not subject to time slots. The 5,000 m² tropical garden is yours for the duration of your stay. The chef who prepares your dinner is not an outside contractor: he is Stephan, whose career spans the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, the Hôtel des Bergues in Geneva, and several years aboard the world's finest luxury cruise lines. Located in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in the Var, 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon and one hour from Marseille, the La Noccemada estate offers the seclusion of the Provençal countryside without sacrificing accessibility. For couples seeking a romantic retreat in the Var with no compromise on privacy, the Spirit of Bali Lodge is a discreet choice, reserved for a privileged few each year.
