Spirit of Bali Lodge – La Noccemada
A discreet retreat for two, in the heart of Provençal Verdon

Just 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, set within a fully enclosed 1.5-hectare estate, the Spirit of Bali Lodge was designed for couples seeking something far beyond a conventional stay. No neighbours, no children, no passing guests — a completely private space where time slows of its own accord. From 250€ per night, continental breakfast included.

The lodge unfolds around a 240 m² outdoor living area opening onto a tropical garden, a private jacuzzi reserved exclusively for your stay, and a 15-metre saltwater lap pool. Every detail — from the sound system to the mini-bar, from summer air conditioning to winter heating — has been thoughtfully considered so that you have nothing left to do but simply be together.

5,000 m² tropical garden · Verdon · Var
The art of the romantic escape, considered in every last detail

The Spirit of Bali Lodge sits within a 5,000 m² tropical garden conceived as a verdant sanctuary. Banana trees, bamboo, and exotic species create an atmosphere of somewhere far away — a surprising and enchanting contrast in the heart of the Provençal Verdon. As evening falls, the soft lighting of the outdoor lounge and the quiet murmur of the water mirror compose a setting that very few retreats anywhere can rival.

For a romantic weekend in the Verdon that transcends the ordinary, La Noccemada also offers bespoke experiences: a massage for one or two people from 200€, a private gypsy jazz concert from 250€, and a cookery or watercolour workshop at 100€ per person. Every moment can be tailored to your desires.

Located at 63 route des Rouvières, Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier (Var), the estate is 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, one hour from Marseille, and 30 minutes from Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon. Booking direct guarantees the best available rate — 15 to 35% less than online platforms.

Why choose La Noccemada for your romantic weekend in the Verdon?

The Verdon is a destination well known to those who cherish nature and tranquillity. Breathtaking gorges, fields of lavender in bloom, hilltop villages of the Var and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence: the setting very nearly speaks for itself. What La Noccemada brings to this remarkable landscape is a layer of exclusivity and attentiveness rarely found outside the finest hotels. The Spirit of Bali Lodge is not simply another romantic retreat — it is an entirely private space, designed for two, where you will encounter neither fellow guests nor children. The 1.5-hectare estate, with no neighbouring properties, offers that rare silence couples seek when they truly wish to reconnect. Add to this a private chef drawn from the most prestigious establishments — Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, Hôtel des Bergues in Geneva, SEABOURN Cruise Lines — who composes each evening a gourmet dinner served outdoors beneath the stars of the Verdon, and it becomes clear what sets this experience apart from any conventional romantic break. For a fortunate few, every detail has been anticipated. All that remains is to arrive.

How to arrange your romantic weekend in the Verdon from Aix, Marseille, or the Côte d'Azur?

La Noccemada is ideally situated in Saint-Julien-le-Montagnier, in the Var, at the meeting point of the Verdon and Provence. A romantic weekend is easily arranged from the region's major cities: 40 minutes from Aix-en-Provence, one hour from Marseille, 1 hour 15 minutes from Toulon, and 1 hour 45 minutes from the beaches of the Côte d'Azur. Lac d'Esparron-de-Verdon, the perfect starting point for kayaking or rowing, is just 30 minutes away.
