You might get what you want with

   <interface type='direct'>
     ...
     <source dev='something' mode='private'/>
     ...
   </interface>

(replace "something" with the name of the network interface on your host)

This is macvtap private mode. The guests will be able to communicate
with everything on the network *except* the host itself, and other
guests on the same host.

Of course it is less restrictive in other ways than having a virtual
network for each guest. For example, incoming connections to the guests
will be possible. But then maybe you want that anyway...
