hideaways
Places to disappear
Hideaways are secluded places where someone can retreat from ordinary life or escape notice.
A cabin in the woods might serve as a weekend hideaway; a dictator might have a secret hideaway in case of coup.
The word suggests privacy and removal from the everyday: The resort advertises itself as a romantic hideaway.
