secluded area
Hidden quiet spot
A secluded area is a place set apart from others, offering privacy or isolation.
The phrase appears frequently in news reports about crimes—bodies discovered, assaults committed—where remoteness meant no witnesses: Police found the vehicle in a secluded area off the highway.
In pleasanter contexts, it suggests peaceful retreat: We found a secluded area of the beach.
