Gold Coast Mahjong

Gold Coast Mahjong at The Ranch Hudson Valley is a four-night wellness retreat in Sloatsburg, New York, that pairs mahjong instruction with The Ranch's signature program of hiking, yoga, massage and nourishing food. It suits anyone who wants to learn or deepen their mahjong while spending a few days in a quiet, distraction-free setting, and who likes the idea of a structured, all-inclusive stay where the decisions are made for you.

What to Expect

The retreat follows The Ranch's core wellness program, with mahjong instruction from Gold Coast Mahjong woven into the stay. The Ranch describes its approach as intentionally structured, with an active daily regimen of guided hikes, yoga, massage, fitness, mindfulness and time in nature. The aim is to recalibrate physical and mental capacity, and to build grounded, lasting wellbeing rather than offer a simple escape.

Each day includes guided hikes of two or four hours through the surrounding landscape, and a range of fitness classes such as morning stretch, strength and conditioning, and restorative yoga. Guests receive a therapeutic, deep-tissue massage for every full day of the stay. Saunas, a cold plunge and a heated swimming pool are available for recovery. Cooking demonstrations, educational wellness sessions and seasonal guest speakers are part of the wider program at The Ranch.

The Setting

The Ranch Hudson Valley is a private estate on a 200-acre lakefront property of dense forests and rolling hills. The main house is a historic stone mansion with antique furnishings, a solarium pool house and an expansive ballroom gym. Because the Hudson Valley has distinct seasons, the landscape and the activities shift through the year, and this winter retreat is a good time for quiet, wooded walks and warming up in the sauna afterward.

Guests stay in a beautifully appointed, airy guest room or a private cottage. Meals and snacks are organic and plant-forward, and free of alcohol, dairy, gluten and processed sugars. A daily personal laundry service is included, along with scheduled airport transportation for your return journey.

Before You Go

The stay is all-inclusive: accommodations, meals and snacks, daily massage, fitness classes, guided hikes, wellness amenities and a body composition analysis to establish your baseline metrics. Retreats at The Ranch are designed as a group experience, with the core programming beginning and ending on set days. At the Hudson Valley location, arrivals are welcome on Sunday, Monday and Thursday.

You can arrive early by booking additional nights before the retreat begins, subject to availability. These nights include check-in at noon, elective wellness programming, meals and a weekend massage. Elective treatments such as facials, acupuncture, energy healing and IV therapy can be added for an extra charge.

Because the days are active, with hiking, strength work and yoga, comfortable layers and sturdy footwear for winter walks in the woods will serve you well. No prior mahjong experience is mentioned as a requirement, and the retreat is built around instruction.
