A Romantic Weekend in the Verdon
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.
BookWhy 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.

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.
