After working in a world of ‘tech bros,’ this woman founded a female-only island
What began as a way for women to network the way men have done at golf courses and cigar clubs has become a literal no man’s land offering an idyllic island getaway

We’ve all had those moments, whether you’re drowning in work in a cramped cubicle or just tired of the daily grind. In those moments, a thought might cross your mind, like “I wish I could escape to a private island.”
Well, entrepreneur Kristina Roth actually made that happen. She’s not just escaping to an island, she owns it. And she’s opening it up to women worldwide. But men? They’re not allowed.
An idyllic island
SuperShe Island is tucked away in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Finland. The 8.4-acre (literal) no man’s land features four newly renovated cabins and can accommodate 10 people. Its amenities give five-star resorts a run for their money, with Finnish saunas, spa-like facilities and beautifully decorated rooms. Daily wellness activities on the island include yoga, meditation, farm-to-table dining, cooking classes, fitness classes, nature activities and more.
“It’s beautiful…it has blueberry fields in the middle [of the island],” Roth tells CNBC Make It . “So in the summer when you walk, it’s just like blueberry fields forever...it’s really a little utopia.”
