yuri › Bali
An intimate retreat designed for two, set within the lush landscapes of Bali, Indonesia — where golden mornings and warm tropical evenings define every day.
Yuri is a deliberately intimate villa conceived for two guests who value privacy above all else.
A Private World Scaled for Two
Yuri is a deliberately intimate villa conceived for two guests who value privacy above all else. Positioned in Bali, Indonesia, at coordinates that place it within reach of the island's most celebrated surf breaks, rice-field walks, and artisan villages, the property occupies a quietly privileged spot on this endlessly layered island. The surrounding landscape shifts between dense tropical canopy and open sky depending on the season, and the villa is oriented to capture both.
The architecture draws from the Balinese tradition of open-sided living — alang-alang thatch, volcanic stone detailing, and timber joinery sit alongside considered contemporary interventions: clean plaster walls in warm white, polished concrete floors that stay cool underfoot, and full-height louvred panels that allow cross-ventilation without surrendering privacy. Every material has been chosen to age well under the equatorial sun rather than fight it.
Inside, the spatial logic is simple: a bedroom suite, a living space that dissolves into the garden, and a kitchen equipped for guests who enjoy preparing their own meals as much as they enjoy dining out. Nothing is oversized or performative. The scale of every room suits two people who want to feel genuinely at home rather than dwarfed by unnecessary volume. Linens are hotel-weight, towels are generously sized, and the bathroom fittings reflect the same attention to quality that runs through every other detail.
The neighbourhood around Yuri is one of Bali's more considered corners — close enough to Seminyak, Canggu, and Ubud's satellite roads to make excursions effortless, yet far enough from the main tourist corridors that the soundscape is dominated by cicadas and gamelan rather than traffic. Warung cafes, rice-field walking tracks, and independent boutiques are within easy reach, and the villa's GPS location makes navigation by scooter or private driver straightforward from the moment of arrival.
Fibre-backed wireless connection with strong signal throughout the villa and garden terrace. Suitable for remote work and video calls.
Secure on-property parking for one scooter or small vehicle, accessed through a private gate. Scooter rental can be arranged locally.
Gas hob, full-size refrigerator, cooking utensils, crockery, and filtered water. Suitable for preparing full meals from locally sourced ingredients.
Inverter split-system air conditioning in the bedroom suite. The living area is designed for natural ventilation through full-height louvred panels.
Overhead rain shower head in the ensuite bathroom with consistent hot water pressure. Complemented by a freestanding soaking tub for longer bathing.
Hotel-weight 400-thread-count cotton sheets on the king bed. Pillows, duvet, and full towel sets provided and refreshed between stays.
Enclosed tropical garden with mature planting for natural privacy screening. Includes a teak daybed and stone paving for outdoor lounging throughout the day.
Private gated entry with keypad or key lock. The garden wall provides full perimeter enclosure for complete visual and acoustic privacy within the compound.
Curated set of bathroom toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and soap provided at check-in. Refilled upon request for longer stays.
Large-diameter ceiling fans installed in the bedroom and living area to supplement natural ventilation. Adjustable to three speeds via bedside and wall controls.
The primary sleeping space is anchored by a king bed dressed in high-thread-count cotton. Louvred timber panels on two sides allow full cross-ventilation or complete enclosure depending on preference. The ensuite is finished in terrazzo and volcanic stone.
A generously proportioned living area with polished concrete floors and a low-profile sofa oriented toward the garden. Full-height panel doors retract completely, merging the interior with the outdoor terrace and eliminating the boundary between inside and outside.
The enclosed garden terrace is paved in local volcanic stone and planted with mature tropical species for natural screening. A teak daybed and two low chairs create a self-contained outdoor room suitable from early morning through to late evening.
A compact but fully functional kitchen with a two-burner gas hob, full-size refrigerator, and filtered cold water on tap. Storage, crockery, and cookware are provided for guests who prefer to prepare their own meals.
The ensuite features an overhead rain shower, a stone-finish basin vanity, and a freestanding soaking tub. Toiletries are provided, and the tub is set beside a garden-facing window that maintains privacy while drawing in natural light and air.
Arrival at Yuri tends to recalibrate your sense of time almost immediately. The gate opens onto a garden path shaded by tropical planting, and within minutes the ambient noise of travel dissolves. You settle in, open the louvred panels wide, and the interior temperature — moderated by both natural ventilation and air conditioning — settles into something genuinely comfortable.
Mornings at Yuri begin with light. The eastern orientation of the main sleeping space means the room brightens gradually rather than abruptly, and guests who rise early are rewarded with a quality of Bali morning light that photographers travel specifically to capture. Prepare breakfast in the kitchen using produce sourced from a nearby market, or walk ten minutes to a favourite local warung for strong Balinese coffee and fresh fruit plates served on low wooden tables.
Afternoons open in multiple directions depending on your temperament. The villa itself is a destination — reading, working, or simply existing in the garden is a complete afternoon. For those who want movement, Bali's surf beaches are accessible by scooter within twenty to thirty minutes, rice-field trekking routes begin nearby, and the crafts villages along the inland road reward slow exploration on foot or by bicycle. The infrastructure around the villa supports both perfect idleness and genuine adventure without demanding either.
As the sun drops toward the Indian Ocean horizon — visible in the distance from the right vantage points nearby — the villa's outdoor space becomes its best version of itself. Warm ambient light catches the stone walls, the garden deepens in colour, and the evening calls for a slow dinner, either prepared in the kitchen or taken at one of the quietly excellent restaurants within a short drive. Yuri is a place that rewards you for slowing down.
15 minutes by scooter
One of Bali's most consistent surf breaks with a wide black-sand shore, active at dawn before the afternoon crowds arrive. Excellent for board hire and surf lessons.
20 minutes by car
A sixteenth-century sea temple perched on a coastal rock formation. Most rewarding at low tide when the base becomes walkable, and at sunset when the silhouette is at its most dramatic.
20 minutes by car
Bali's most refined strip for independent boutiques, open-kitchen restaurants, and design-led cafes. Best explored on foot in the early evening as the temperature drops.
30 minutes by car
Denpasar's main fresh produce market operating from 4am, stocked with tropical fruit, spices, and local ingredients at prices that reflect genuine local commerce rather than tourist markup.
Most first-time visitors to Bali treat the island as a series of landmarks to be collected. The guests who leave most deeply satisfied are those who allow one corner of the island to reveal itself in detail — a single beach, a morning market, a warung discovered by accident.
From a fourth-generation warung serving babi guling at 7am to a Japanese-Balinese kitchen with no sign above the door, the dining landscape around Yuri rewards guests who are willing to move past the obvious choices and follow local recommendation.
The roads that run north from the coastal strip into Bali's interior pass through some of the island's most unhurried terrain — silver-smith villages, clove-scented hillsides, and rice terraces that have remained largely unchanged for five hundred years.
Standard check-in at Yuri is from 2:00 PM. Early check-in from 11:00 AM can often be accommodated depending on the preceding booking — please contact us at least 48 hours in advance to confirm availability.

Yuri accommodates a maximum of two guests. The villa is designed specifically for couples or solo travellers who value an undiluted sense of privacy. The king bed configuration is not convertible to a twin arrangement. Additional guests beyond two are not permitted per the house rules.
Yes. There is secure on-property parking for one scooter or compact vehicle within the gated compound. Access is via the private entry gate. If you are arriving by private driver or taxi, drop-off and collection can be arranged directly at the gate. Scooter rental can be organised locally through several reputable operators within ten minutes of the villa.
Pets are not accommodated at Yuri. The garden planting and interior soft furnishings are maintained to a standard that requires a strictly pet-free environment. We appreciate your understanding and are happy to suggest nearby accommodation options that do accept pets if needed.
