A Romantic Weekend in PACA, Away from the World
Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
The romantic weekend in PACA that only a fortunate few know about
Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence and an hour from Marseille, the Lodge Spirit of Bali welcomes you from 250€ per night in a setting that is entirely private, fully enclosed, with no neighbours in sight. Designed for two, conceived for intimacy, this Balinese-inspired lodge set within 1.5 hectares of Provençal countryside offers everything a romantic weekend in PACA should be: silence, sensory indulgence, and exclusivity.
A private jacuzzi accessible from 8am to 11:30pm, a 240 m² outdoor lounge, 5,000 m² of tropical gardens, a gastronomic dinner served beneath the stars of the Verdon by a chef with Michelin-starred credentials — nothing is shared here, everything is crafted for the two of you. La Noccemada never welcomes more than six guests across the entire estate.

What makes this experience unique
Lodge Spirit of Bali – La Noccemada
100% Private Jacuzzi
Reserved exclusively for the lodge's occupants, your jacuzzi is maintained daily by our team and accessible from 8am to 11:30pm. No sharing, no time-slot bookings — complete freedom for two.
Salt-Water Lane Pool
A 15-metre salt-water lane pool, open from April to mid-October. Nestled within the tropical garden, it invites you to unwind in an exceptional natural setting, far from the bustle of the world.
Gastronomic Dinner Under the Stars
Each evening, by prior arrangement, Chef Stephan creates an exclusive menu for you at 110€ per person, served al fresco. Locally sourced produce, multiple courses, with vegetarian and gluten-free adaptations available. A true fine-dining chef — not a catering service.
A Discreet Estate, Adults Only
No children, no neighbours, no noise. The La Noccemada estate is fully enclosed across 1.5 hectares. A space where tranquillity is not a promise, but an architectural reality.
Balinese-Inspired Private Lodge
The Lodge Spirit of Bali features a bedroom with a queen-size bed, a private shower room, a 240 m² outdoor lounge with oversized sofas and a water mirror, a mini-bar, and both summer air conditioning and winter heating.
Continental Breakfast Included
Each morning, a continental breakfast is included in your stay. A gentle first ritual to begin a day with no fixed agenda, in the quiet of the Provençal tropical garden.
Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, Var – Gorges du Verdon
A Sensory Setting Crafted for Two
The Lodge Spirit of Bali is an architectural retreat considered in its every detail for travel as a couple. The Balinese influence is woven into every line: the water mirror reflecting the Provençal sky, the oversized sofas nestled within the 240 m² outdoor lounge, the lush vegetation that wraps the landscape around itself.
As evening falls and Chef Stephan lays the table outside beneath the stars of the Verdon, the experience takes on a dimension that very few properties in PACA can claim. This is not a hotel dinner — it is a private chef's meal, composed for you, served for you alone.
Surrounding the lodge, 5,000 m² of enclosed tropical garden absorb the silence. No neighbours, no visible roads, no interruptions. It is this depth of stillness that sets a truly extraordinary romantic stay apart from one that is merely remembered fondly.
BookWhy choose La Noccemada for a romantic weekend in PACA?
The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region offers an impressive array of romantic retreats, from garrigue farmhouses to seaside hotels. Yet a truly successful romantic weekend in PACA rests on one rare quality: genuine intimacy. The kind that cannot be negotiated alongside shared corridors, a jacuzzi booked by the hour, or a terrace overlooking your neighbour's. At La Noccemada, intimacy is structural. The Lodge Spirit of Bali is entirely private, fully enclosed, and designed for two. The jacuzzi is yours alone, at any hour between 8am and 11:30pm. The estate never welcomes more than six guests at once, adults only. Add to this the presence of Chef Stephan — a career shaped at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, the Hôtel des Bergues in Geneva, aboard private yachts, and with the world's most prestigious luxury cruise lines — and it becomes clear why this Var estate stands as one of the most discreet addresses for a romantic weekend in PACA. All from 250€ per night, continental breakfast included, with a best-rate guarantee on direct bookings.
