A Women’s Coastal Mahjong Retreat
A Wrightsville Beach women's weekend.
“Imagine a weekend of Mahjong, movement, margaritas, and beach-house connection — tiles clicking on the deck at sunset, a salty breeze through open doors, and women who get it gathered around the same table.”
Small house. Small guest list. Big connections.
Your weekend home
A comfortable beach-house retreat, one block from the ocean — space to gather, play, and slow all the way down.
More photos to come — this is just a peek.
What makes this weekend special
Room to spread out and still stay close — sunny gathering spaces, a breezeway game room, quiet corners to slip away to, and a big deck for tiles at golden hour.
Open play from morning to night. Beginners, newer players, and lifers all welcome. No tournament, no scoreboards — just tiles, time, and your people.
Optional morning stretch sessions, deck cocktails at sunset, beach walks between hands. The weekend flows; you choose your pace.
Welcome dinner, shared meals, snacks always within reach. No early-bird agenda. No filler workshops. Just space to be.

FAQ
Yes — we will teach you. We play American Mahjong. Bring curiosity, leave the pressure at home. Most weekends produce at least one brand-new player who is hooked by Saturday afternoon.
No. This is open social play. No scoreboards, no brackets, no time pressure. The whole point is connection, not competition.
Absolutely. Book a "Queen Room — Two Guests" together, or pick "Twin Bed in Shared Room" and request your friend as a roommate during registration.
For overnight rooms, you can secure your spot with a deposit ($200 twin / $300 queen / $600 queen-double). The remaining balance is charged automatically 60 days before the retreat. You can also pay in full at checkout if you prefer.
