hideaway
Place to disappear
A hideaway is a secluded place where someone can retreat from others—a private refuge or secret spot: They found a little hideaway in the mountains, her childhood hideaway in the attic.
The word suggests somewhere tucked away and hard to find, often with connotations of escape or intimacy.
As an adjective, hideaway describes things designed to fold away or conceal: a hideaway bed.
