Offshore spot I stole away to (4)

I believe the answer is:

isle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'offshore spot' is the definition.
'isle' can be an answer for 'spot' (I have seen 'isolated spot' mean 'isle' so perhaps 'spot' could also mean 'isle'). I'm not certain of the 'offshore' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "Piece of land in water" , "Man, maybe" , "Lies (anag)" , "eg Capri" , "small piece of land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
