desert retreat

Dry land getaway

A desert retreat is a getaway or place of refuge located in arid, sparsely populated terrain.

The phrase combines the isolation of desert landscapes with the restorative purpose of a retreat—whether for spiritual practice, wellness, or simply escaping urban life: She spent a week at a desert retreat in Arizona.

Desert retreats often emphasize minimalism and connection to stark natural beauty.
