Walk n SeeExceptional Design & Thoughtful Luxury at Irnaqana Villa Ubud – A Standout Private Pool Villa.
We recently stayed at Irnaqana Villa by GenuineHost in the Ubud and were thoroughly impressed by the architectural design and overall experience.
This is not just another new villa (open late 2025), it’s a beautifully conceived private sanctuary where modern elegance meets natural tropical living in perfect harmony.
Irnaqana consists of only four villas, each one a completely separate building. This gives every guest total privacy and the feeling of having your own exclusive retreat, which is rare and highly appreciated.
The First Impression:
A Brilliant Design Moment.
From the moment you arrive, the entrance sets the tone. The elegantly designed door is a masterstroke, as it opens, it dramatically reveals the entire private swimming pool in one breathtaking view. It’s cinematic and instantly relaxing. No obstructed sightlines, just pool and lush greenery waiting for you. This clever architectural choice makes the outdoor space feel like an extension of the living area and creates that “wow” factor right away.
Lush Garden & Natural Surroundings and water flow sound.
The garden is lush and thoughtfully planted with a wonderful variety of tropical plants that feel completely natural and established.
It’s not overly manicured, instead, it blends beautifully with the surrounding rice fields and countryside, giving a genuine sense of being immersed in Bali’s nature.
Morning light filtering through the leaves, birdsong, and the gentle breeze made our mornings on the terrace truly special.
Spacious Interior with Impressive High Ceilings
Inside, the villa shines with its generous proportions and smart layout. The ceilings are exceptionally high — at least 5–6 meters — which not only makes the space feel incredibly airy and luxurious but also keeps the villa naturally cooler throughout the day. This is a game-changer in Bali’s climate.
The unit is cleverly split into two distinct yet connected zones:
• On the left side you have the dining and TV lounge area — perfect for relaxed meals or evening entertainment at the sunken seating.
• On the right side is the bedroom with a bathtub and bathroom wing.
Both sides offer ample space, so nothing feels cramped. The design elegantly balances modern lines, high-quality materials, and natural elements, clean aesthetics paired with warm tones and textures that nod to Balinese tradition without feeling clichéd.
Every piece of furniture, lighting, and finishing feels carefully chosen and of premium quality.
Bedroom & Bathroom Comfort
The bed is enormous and one of the most comfortable we’ve experienced in Bali. After long days of exploring Ubud or playing sports, sinking into it was pure bliss — our backs were very thankful!
The bedroom feels spacious and peaceful with excellent blackout options.
The bathroom is equally impressive — spotlessly clean, with strong water pressure in the shower, fresh towels daily, and good-quality toiletries.
Everything felt hygienic and well-maintained.
The air conditioning is powerful and gets deliciously cold although might needs 1-2 minutes, which was welcome after hot days. Combined with the high ceilings and natural ventilation, the villa stayed comfortable at all times.
Location Perks.
While the villa itself is tucked away in a quiet, green setting ideal for relaxation, the surrounding area is surprisingly convenient. There’s a fantastic variety of eateries within a short distance — from authentic local warungs serving delicious Balinese food to excellent international restaurants.
Final Thoughts
Irnaqana Villa excels in thoughtful, high-quality design that prioritizes space, light, views, and privacy. It successfully delivers both aesthetic beauty and genuine comfort.
We would definitely return and highly recommend it. A big thank you to the team at GenuineHost for maintaining such a beautiful property.

A stunning place and magical people! 🤩❤️🩷🧡
Unusual, natural, beautiful! Real Bali, without the tourist trappings, no hustle and bustle, just pure nature, an authentic atmosphere, and genuine, warm-hearted people! The eco-hotel's grounds are simply stunning! So much work and love has clearly been put into them. There are flowers all around, an avocado garden, coffee trees, a well-mown lawn, and the plunge pools with spring mountain water are a godsend! You can swim and even fill up with clean mountain water to drink from the spring. There's a natural pool for children.
The staff and owners are a wonderful family, such warm, caring people! Many thanks and love to the owner, Yuni! ❤️ She explains everything, helps with everything, is always welcoming, and she cooks local Balinese dishes so deliciously! We were greeted warmly, as if we were visiting good friends. 🤗
The cottages are well-spaced, spaced apart from each other, so no one disturbs anyone else. Each has an area where you can light a fire in the evening under a roof protected from the rain. The cottage has two floors: the top floor has a bed and a balcony, and the ground floor has a living room, toilet, and shower, all in the fresh air. Shampoo and hot water are provided. Incidentally, the water is also mountain hot water. The blankets are pleasantly warm, the bed linen is good, and there are plenty of pillows. There's no air conditioning or heating in the cottage, but it's not necessary—the temperature is very comfortable even with the windows open. There's a café on-site with stunning mountain views. The hostess prepares breakfast and also serves Indonesian dishes à la carte any time of day (until 9:00 PM). The grilled ocean fish with local sauce was magical!👌👍
The air is so clean here! The views are breathtaking, the silence, the forest, the mountains, the flowers, and the gardens—it's truly peaceful.
The price is very reasonable for Bali.
We also swam in a mountain river, near a small waterfall 200 meters from the hotel.☺️
Well done, I wish this eco-hotel and this wonderful family continued prosperity! ❤️🤩👍
Thank you so much Yuni and Harry!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I highly recommend it!
Потрясающее место и волшебные люди!🤩❤️🩷🧡
Необыкновенно, природно, красиво! Настоящий Бали, без туристической обертки, без суеты, шума, только чистая природа, аутентичная атмосфера, настоящие душевные люди! Территория эко отеля облагорожена просто изумительно! Столько труда и любви видно вложено. Кругом цветы, сад авокадо, деревья кофе, газон пострижен, а купели бассейны с ключевой горной водой - просто находка! Можно и купаться и даже набрать из родника питьевой чистой горной воды. Есть природный бассейн для детей.
Персонал, хозяева - чудесная семья, какие душевные, заботливые люди! Большая благодарность и любовь хозяйке Yuni! ❤️ Обо всём расскажет, всё поможет, всегда приветлива, а как вкусно готовит местные балийские блюда! Нас радушно встретили, как в гости к хорошим друзьям приехали. 🤗
Домики хорошо расположены, на расстоянии друг от друга, никто никому не мешает. С видом на сад. У каждого есть зона, где можно пожечь костёр вечером под крышей от дождя. В домике 2 этажа, на верхнем кровать и балкончик, а на первом гостиная и туалет, душ, на свежем воздухе. Есть шампунь и горячая вода. Кстати, вода тоже с гор. Приятные тёплые одеяла, хорошее постельное бельё, много подушек. В домике нет кондиционеров и отопления, но этого и не нужно - температура очень комфортная даже с открытыми окнами. На территории кафе с потрясающим видом на горы. Хозяйка готовит завтраки и ещё по меню в любое время дня (до 21:00) индонезийские блюда. Рыба из океана на гриле под местным соусом была волшебная!💛👌
Какой чистый воздух здесь! Виды захватывающие, тишина, лес, горы, цветы и сады - умиротворение.
Цена очень демократичная для Бали. А ещё мы купались в горной реке, у маленького водопада в 200 метрах от отеля. 👍
Молодцы, желаю процветания этому эко отелю и чудесной семье! ❤️🤩👍
Рекомендую!💯

NicmicThe resort is quite old and showing its age. The location is superb – right on the beach – and the spacious grounds are well laid out.
Unfortunately, the rooms are very musty and have a moldy smell. The Soora Bar, which we wanted to visit in the evening because of its great description, is past its prime, and the drinks consisted 80% of a huge ice cube, which we found to be quite a rip-off. However, we had a friendly conversation with the manager about this, and hopefully, he will address these issues.
Breakfast was incredibly rich – a fantastic selection with something for every taste – even sushi!
The Teppanyaki Restaurant was delicious, and Gede put on a great cooking show for us – definitely something to try! We didn't particularly enjoy the dinner with the traditional Kecak dance. The Kecak performance lacked expression – on our last Bali trip, we saw a brilliant, expressive performance in Lovina that was accompanied by music – all of that was unfortunately missing here.
All in all, we would probably not visit this hotel again.

FioMelI have a very pleasant stay here. At 2014 back then when it is still Nikko, my brother had his wedding here and I appreciate the hotel still have their name hang in the wall near Wiwaha Chapel. The room is spacious and clean. The AC works really well. View from our room is so beautiful. Make sure to book the ocean view to enoy the beauty of Bali. We had Mexican dinner at Grain Restaurant, delicious food with Latin live band boost up the mood. Thank you Mrs. Sumerti for the hospitality during dinner. Definitely stay here if I visit Bali!

This resort-style hotel truly has it all when it comes to dining, entertainment, and amenities. From recreational facilities and an indoor pool to a private beach and buffet restaurants, everything you could want is right here. The 'all-inclusive' in the hotel's name means that for an additional fee, you get unlimited access to the hotel's various buffet restaurants throughout the day. If you opt for the all-inclusive package, you essentially won't need to leave the hotel at all during your stay.
The hotel attracts a lot of foreign guests, mostly vacationers who seem to stay for extended periods. During our two-day stay, we were the only two Chinese guests in the entire hotel – the breakfast staff recognized us instantly! 😂
The rooms are large and comfortable, each with its own balcony. The hotel service is genuinely excellent, and the breakfast buffet offers a fantastic variety. While the hotel does show its age a bit, with some facilities looking a little dated, it doesn't detract from the overall experience.

PriMorThis hotel is a very good choice 👍🏼 I am a little picky, but here’s my review:
Pros:
✅ No damp smell, well ventilated ( I was worried about this)
✅ No insects in the room. There might be some geckos 🦎 (which is normal and expected) but I didn’t see any.
✅ Very clean in general
✅ Comfortable bed
✅ The service is amazing
✅ The staff is very friendly and helpful
✅ The breakfast is very good, there are plenty of choices.
✅ Their restaurant is also very good, in case you don’t want to go out of the resort.
✅ The vibe at the beach is nice and if you like water sports it is also good.
✅ The pool is huge and very nice
✅ Reasonable price (but it will depend on the season and demand)
Cons:
😑 Sound proof can be better, one can hear everyone from the pool (the sound enters from the main door)
😑 The beach is not the best for swimming, and is a bit dirty in general (not the hotel’s fault)
😑 The gym can be better as there are only 3 machines (spinning, treadmill and elliptical) the dumbbells are fine
✅😄 Overall, recommended! I was happy with my stay at this hotel!
It is good to give it a try!

Anonymous UserCheck in was smooth. Staffs were friendly.
Hotel is huge, they have 3 blocks. I got the far end of the block which was a little bit away from the reception and the restaurants and the open space for smoking.
In 2 circumstances, i walked up to the room and the door card could not work. This happened in 2 different nights. I had to walk down and got it reset, but the staffs didnt bother to apologise for this. The first time it happened I was okay, but the second time it happened, I got pissed off, because it was a long walk from the room to the reception.
If you order food delivery, it will be a long walk to take your food at the reception.
If you got the rooms at the reception level, I'm sure it will be a great experience like the first time I was there in the Junior Suite, but this time it was not as pleasant.
Thumbs up though for the housekeeping, as the found out I had many shirts lying on the sofa, they brought a small clothes rack and hung my shirts.

Great stay. Complete breakfast with delicious fruits. Staff ready to help at anytime and very lovely. The room was very nice, including a nice bed, chair and desk for work. The shower was very good too, comparing to others I’ve stayed in Indonesia. I’d definitely stay again and for longer.

Guest UserThe room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable with clean linen. However, there was a strong chemical smell in the room, which I later understood why. After airing it out, it got better. The street the hotel is on is narrow but busy. At night, drunk people were shouting and fighting outside the window. I also found a bed bug on the neighboring bed, and the air conditioner was leaking.
On the positive side, the staff was very polite and quickly came to fix the issues. They cleaned everything, repaired the AC, and sprayed for insects. They apologized profusely. They also provide two bottles of water daily, and tea and coffee are free at the reception.

Posted on Oct 6, 2026|Villa Estella 1 (1 Bedroom Villa with Private Pool)
Guest UserI booked a 6-night stay at Villa Estella from September 28 to October 4, 2026.
The villa itself is beautiful, well-equipped, and ideally located for a stay in Seminyak. The staff are also friendly, welcoming, and professional, as is often the case in Indonesia.
Unfortunately, I can only give this property 2 stars because my stay was significantly affected by an issue that was never disclosed before my booking: major construction work was taking place in the villa directly next to mine.
For all six days of my stay, construction workers arrived every morning around 8:30–9:00 a.m. and continued working until approximately 5:30–6:00 p.m. Beyond the constant movement of workers, conversations, and music from the construction site, I had to endure hammering against the wall of my bedroom, drilling, material cutting, and various other loud construction noises throughout the day. In addition, dust and construction debris regularly settled on my terrace, outdoor furniture, and around the pool area.
Whether inside or outside the villa, the noise level was simply incompatible with a relaxing holiday.
I specifically chose this villa because it was located away from the busier parts of Seminyak and because I wanted to enjoy the private pool. Since Seminyak’s beaches are often difficult to enjoy for swimming due to the waves, I expected to spend time relaxing at the villa and cooling off during the hottest hours of the day. Unfortunately, the noise was so constant and intrusive that it was impossible to comfortably stay at the property from morning until late afternoon.
The day after my arrival, I contacted management to explain that the situation was unacceptable and that I should have been informed about the construction work before booking. In my opinion, this is essential information that should be clearly disclosed on booking platforms.
The only solution offered was to have the workers start a little later in the morning so that I could sleep longer. No alternative accommodation was proposed, no full refund for the unused nights was considered, and the only compensation offered was a 30% refund on the remaining nights, which I considered completely inadequate given the extent of the disruption. The construction work continued throughout my stay.
I received several apology emails acknowledging the inconvenience and warning me that there would still be noise on the following days. However, beyond these apologies, no meaningful action was taken to resolve the issue.
I felt trapped and left without a real solution. I was repeatedly told that I was free to leave the property, while also being informed that the compensation would remain limited to this partial refund, which was presented as an exceptional commercial gesture.
Empathy and apologies are appreciated, but concrete action matters more. I was left with the impression that the owners prioritized their business interests over the comfort and well-being of their guests.
When a property knows that major construction work is likely to significantly impact the guest experience, the very least it should do is inform guests before they book so they can make an informed decision.
In my case, I was only informed after I had already arrived, when it was far too late to change my plans. I find this completely unacceptable.
If you are considering staying at this villa and are sensitive to noise or construction disturbances, I strongly recommend contacting the property beforehand to confirm the current situation. This important information was certainly not communicated transparently when I made my reservation.
