SuperShe Island is a female-only resort located on the island of Fjärdskär in the Gulf of Finland, administratively located in the town of Raseborg, Finland.
The resort has been founded by a German-American entrepreneur Kristina Roth, former CEO and owner of the consulting company Matisia Consultants in Washington. Roth has funded the island herself with the resources she obtained by selling Matisia.
The resort has opened to guests on June 23, 2018. The resort's goal has been claimed to allow women around the world to live healty and empowered lives, as well as to function as the headquarters of the global SuperShe community for the prospective and former guests. The activities offered include yoga, meditation, kayaking, and hiking, as well as motivational talks and discussions.[1]
The island has attracted a lot of media attention worldwide, however, due to the resort being marketed to affluent women, the price of a week-long stay being 4,000 euros, and the prospective guests having to undergo a rigorous selection process, the project has also been criticised as elitist.[2] Roth has rejected the criticism, claiming in the local newspaper Västra Nyland that the price is comparable to the offerings of similar private islands.[3]
