A Private Spa for Two in the Heart of PACA
Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
An entirely private wellness retreat, reserved for two, between the Var and the Verdon
Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and an hour from Marseille, La Noccemada offers one of the few truly private couple's spa experiences in PACA where intimacy is never compromised. The Lodge Spirit of Bali, from 250€ per night, places at your exclusive disposal a private jacuzzi accessible from 8am to 11:30pm, maintained daily by our team — shared with no one else. No communal corridors, no shared bathing: a space conceived for two, and two alone.
The lodge opens onto a 240 m² outdoor living area with oversized sofas and a water mirror, set within a fully enclosed 5,000 m² tropical garden with no neighbouring properties. In PACA, very few addresses can offer such a depth of seclusion — a 1.5-hectare estate where you will never encounter more than six guests at any one time, adults only, sheltered entirely from the outside world.

Lodge Spirit of Bali, La Noccemada — Var, PACA
A secluded Balinese setting between the Verdon and Provence
The Lodge Spirit of Bali was conceived for couples seeking a genuinely private spa experience in PACA — not a shared jacuzzi tucked into a hotel corridor, but a 240 m² outdoor sanctuary where time slows to a different rhythm. Oversized sofas, a water mirror, a tropical garden: every detail is an invitation to unwind.
La Noccemada is nestled in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, between the Gorges du Verdon and Lac d'Esparron, 30 minutes from the lake and 1 hour 15 minutes from Toulon. A prime location within the PACA region, far from any agitation, making it an ideal base from which to explore the Provençal Verdon before returning to a haven of absolute tranquillity.
The property is adults only and welcomes a maximum of six guests across the entire estate at any one time. This deliberate limit ensures a quality of welcome and a sense of peace that very few addresses in PACA are able to offer today.
BookPrivate couple's spa in PACA: why La Noccemada stands apart
Across Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, private spa offerings for couples are multiplying — yet very few truly guarantee intimacy without compromise. Most establishments offer a so-called 'private' jacuzzi available in timed slots, within spaces shared with other guests or in standardised surroundings. La Noccemada is built on an entirely different premise: a fully enclosed lodge, a jacuzzi reserved for two with no rotation or sharing, and a 5,000 m² tropical garden with no neighbouring properties whatsoever. The private spa is not an optional extra or a supplement — it is the very heart of the experience, available from 8am to 11:30pm, entirely at your own pace. Add to this a private chef with Michelin credentials who creates a gastronomic dinner each evening beneath the stars of the Verdon, and what emerges is something qualitatively different: not simply accommodation with a jacuzzi, but a confidential retreat where every element — wellness, gastronomy, nature — has been thoughtfully crafted for two.

- 1.5-hectare estate with no neighbouring properties — fully enclosed, in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier in the Var, 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence.
