Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
A discreet sanctuary for two, in the heart of Provençal Verdon
Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and an hour from Marseille, La Noccemada offers one of the most intimate romantic retreats in the PACA region. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is reserved entirely for its current guests — two people, 240 m² of private outdoor space, a 5,000 m² tropical garden with no neighbours in sight, and an exclusive jacuzzi that no one else will ever share. From 250€ per night, continental breakfast included.
No children, no passing guests, no noise. Only the whisper of the Verdon, the warmth of a space designed entirely for two, and — should you wish — a gourmet dinner served beneath the stars by Stephan, a private chef with a palace pedigree: the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, the Hôtel des Bergues, SEABOURN. A romantic weekend in PACA unlike almost any other.

5,000 m² of Balinese nature in Provence
A sensory setting designed for lovers
The tropical garden at La Noccemada is not mere scenery — it is an experience in itself. Five thousand square metres of dense, enveloping vegetation, completely secluded from the outside world, where time slows from the very first moment.
The 240 m² outdoor living area, the oversized sofas facing the water mirror, the jacuzzi steaming at dusk: every detail of the Lodge Spirit of Bali has been crafted so that two people can truly reconnect, far from the noise of everyday life.
As evening falls, beneath the stars of the Verdon, Stephan lays the table for an intimate gourmet dinner. Local produce, a single curated menu, several courses. A romantic weekend in PACA that guests speak of long after their return.
BookWhy choose La Noccemada for a romantic weekend in PACA?
The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region offers hundreds of addresses for a romantic getaway. Yet very few can offer what La Noccemada has carefully crafted in the Var: absolute intimacy, an exceptional natural setting, and a level of gastronomic service more readily associated with the grand palace hotels of the Côte d'Azur than with a lodge nestled in unspoilt countryside. Set in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, 30 minutes from the Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon and an hour from Marseille, the estate spans 1.5 fully enclosed hectares, with no neighbours whatsoever. The Lodge Spirit of Bali — the one and only lodge on the property — is reserved for two guests. Its private jacuzzi is never shared. Its 240 m² outdoor living space is yours, and yours alone. For couples seeking a romantic weekend in PACA with no compromise on quality or tranquillity, La Noccemada is a rare alternative to mass-market unusual accommodation or the overcrowded hotels of the Côte d'Azur in high season.

When should you book your romantic weekend in the Verdon?
La Noccemada welcomes couples throughout the year. Spring and autumn bring an ideal Provençal mildness, perfect for enjoying the tropical garden, the terrace and evenings in the jacuzzi without the intensity of summer heat. From May to mid-October, the 15-metre saltwater lap pool adds another dimension to the experience. Summer in the Verdon is bright and warm — the lodge is fully air-conditioned to ensure your comfort. In winter, the heating creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere across an estate wrapped in absolute stillness. Whatever the season, Stephan's gourmet dinners are available by reservation, and cookery workshops, private gypsy jazz concerts or massage sessions can further enrich your stay. For a romantic weekend in PACA well off the beaten track, La Noccemada is open to those who know that the most beautiful moments are found well away from the crowd.
