The Smurf Village is the home residence for the Smurfs. It is located in a forest, the exact location of which is unknown to all but Smurfs, Mother Nature, and Leaf. In the "non-canonical" Smurf story "The Smurfs And The Magic Flute", Homnibus used "hypno-kinesis" in order to transport Sir Johan and Peewit as close to the village as possible, where they found a Smurf to guide them the rest of the way there. In the 1980s cartoon show, a magic spell prevents non-Smurfs from ever finding the village, though strangely as seen in the episode "Revenge Of The Smurfs" it hasn't stopped humans from accidentally rampaging through it. In the 2011 Smurfs movie, it is protected by a magical field that renders it invisible to all outsiders.

The village resembles a patch of large mushrooms, since their houses are built to resemble mushrooms, probably serving as camouflage to unsuspecting passersby. Besides houses, it also has an outdoor theater, a meeting house, a kitchen, a storehouse, a dining hall facility, a playing field for sports games, a hospital or infirmary for treating sick and injured Smurfs, and a field for growing crops. Though about 100 Smurfs live in this village, it appears to be rather small in area size.

The Smurf Village is also adjacent to a large body of water that their sailing ship, the S.S. Smurf II, launches off into.

Various secret artifacts have been kept in the village, such as the Long Life Stone that keeps Smurfs from accelerated aging and the Time Scrolls that enable Smurfs to travel to any point in time (and to any geographical location).

In the comic books, the Smurf Village is divided regionally into north and south due to the language differences between the Smurfs, as one group of Smurfs may say "corksmurf" and the other group of Smurfs may say "smurfscrew", though Papa Smurf points out to them that both forms of the word are correct. In the cartoon show special "The Smurfic Games", the Smurf Village is divided regionally into east and west for similar reasons.

In the 2021 animated show, the Smurf Village has a counterpart in an alternate universe called the Pluff Village, where the Pluffs lived.

The Smurf Village's first known appearance was in the original comic book version of "The Smurfs And The Magic Flute". At the time the story was first published, the Smurf Village was originally located in a desolate rock-filled forest called the Cursed Land, to which Johan and Peewit were sent to locate them. It was only when the Smurfs became popular enough to warrant their own comic book series that the village was relocated to a flourishing animal-filled forest seen in the animated version of the story as well as all subsequent interpretations of the Smurfs.

Official description

Comic Book/2021 TV Series Universe

NOTE: This description is directly taken from the pitch bible of the 2021 TV series.

The Smurfs live together in their lovely little village, a place that seems totally idyllic and tranquil at first glance. But look closer, and you’ll see that this place is bubbling with energy and potential mayhem.

Viewers will be constantly surprised as stories veer left and right, slowing down, and speeding up like a wheelbarrow out of control. This crazy village life is like a character in and of itself.

Beyond the village there’s a whole wide world, a rich environment filled with beauty and menace in equal parts. The hamlet of mushroom houses is nestled between mountains and a vast forest, with a river running lazily along the edge of the woods. Paths led outward from the village to the river with its bridges, a little swimming pond, the waterfall in the mountains, the sarsparilla field (where the Smurfs find their favorite food), and the forest.

1961 TV Series Universe

While Smurf Village maintains the same design and aesthetic as the original comics. The 1961 adaptation of The Smurfnapper establishes that the village and the Smurfs lived somewhere in the middle of South America instead of Medieval Europe.

1981 TV Series Universe

NOTE: This description is directly taken from the pitch bible of the 1981 TV series.

Tucked away in the middle of a medieval forest is the charming and unique village of the Smurfs. It is populated by 103 little blue people who are only three apples high. Living in their distinctive mushroom houses, the Smurfs lead a simple, fantastic, communal life. Having none of the worries of modern life, these happy beings live in harmony with nature. Their favorite food is the Smurfberry which grows in abundance in the forest. In fact, because they take everything they need directly from nature, the Smurfs have no need for money or gold.

Because of their tiny size, their household items have to be specially fashioned and scaled down for their use. Everything in the village has a rough-hewn, hand-made look. The Smurfs use an amazing array of items from nature to serve as everyday gadgets. For example, half a walnut shell serves as a wash basin while a dew drop becomes a impromptu shower.

Although at first glance all of the Smurfs look pretty much alike, each one has a distinct personality and is easily recognizable by voice, props, or details of costume. Brainy Smurf, for example, wears glasses while Hefty Smurf wears a tattoo on his arm. However, the most prominent Smurf of all is Papa Smurf who, with his distinguished white beard and distinctive red suit, is the kindly leader of the Smurfs.
