secluded village

Isolated rural community

A secluded village is a small settlement set apart from larger population centers, typically remote, quiet, and difficult to access.

The phrase suggests isolation that may be geographical, cultural, or both: They found a secluded village in the mountains where few outsiders ever visited.

The seclusion often carries romantic or idyllic connotations—a place untouched by modern life.
