In a world which is obsessed with couples' getaways, Finland is quietly becoming the host of one of the most unconventional travel destinations on the planet.
Located in the Baltic Sea, just off the coast of Helsinki, is SuperShe Island - a private, women-only retreat where men are - quite literally - banned from entering. "Here, the hustle and bustle of daily life fade away, replaced by the tranquil sounds of the Baltic Sea and the rustle of pine trees," states the official website. The island was born from a simple, yet powerful, idea: Women need a space to focus on themselves, free from all the distractions. The founder, Kristina Roth, came from a male-dominated tech world and saw the need for a place where women could connect, recharge, and grow. This is not just a retreat; it is the physical headquarters for a global community of "kickass women." And its not some ordinary staycation spot. SuperShe island offers a carefully curated experience of wellness, nature, and connection. You can start your day with a sunrise yoga session or a refreshing dip in the sea. "Our farm-to-table dining features locally sourced, "paleovedic" meals, prepared to nourish your body. Spend your afternoons hiking through forests carpeted in emerald moss, kayaking around the archipelago, or indulging in a traditional Finnish sauna," the website adds further.
Exclusivity Is A Priority
The island is exclusively available only for a limited number of guests at one time. The official website states that only 8 women can stay in the cozy villa at once.There are no rushed schedules or tired plans - it is all about womanhood and experimentation. At this safe space, guests from all over the world -entrepreneurs, artists, and leaders - come together to share stories, collaborate, and build a powerful support system. This is a place to forge genuine friendships and find inspiration. This island is more than a destination; it is a movement - a place where you can explore new possibilities and become the best version of yourself.
A Travel Trend In The Making
Beyond the Instagram travel intrigue and headline-worthy "men banned" rule, SuperShe Island represents a broader cultural shift. Women are seeking spaces that prioritise mental health and self-growth over the usual surface-level indulgence.And in such a scenario, SuperShe Island is not about escaping the world. It is, in fact, more about returning to it stronger, clearer and more grounded.
