Why this word
The best word for this idea is usually "solitude." It describes being alone in a calm, comfortable way, not in a sad or lonely way. People use it for quiet time, reflection, or rest. If you want the place more than the feeling, "seclusion" can also work. "Isolation" is usually negative, so it is not the best match here.
