Different place is unique (7)
I believe the answer is:
special
'unique' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'different place is' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates an anagram.
'place'+'is'='placeis'
'placeis' anagrammed gives 'SPECIAL'.
(Other definitions for special that I've seen before include "Remarkable" , "Rare, valuable" , "An addition to the standard menu" , "Designed for a purpose" , "Particular, distinctive" .)
