I believe the answer is:

oasis

'fertile area in a desert' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for oasis that I've seen before include "Peaceful area away from trouble" , "Fertile patch in a desert" , "place to escape gloom?" , "water you'll want here" , "Fertile place in a desert, a watering hole" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, The Independent and The Times.
