"inefable" - negative connotation in Spanish?

Hi! I am wondering about translating the word "unspeakable" or "indescribable". I want to use it in a positive sense, as in "unspeakable beauty". I want to avoid words that are commonly used to express terrible things.

Inefible is certainly a good word for you to use. I'm not sure if it is ever used negatively, but it is definitely used in a positive sense.

Indescriptable would be another possible choice.

Hi Blue. Did you want something other than "belleza indescriptible?"
