Gold Coast Mahjong at The Ranch

Gold Coast Mahjong at The Ranch is a four-night wellness retreat at The Ranch Hudson Valley in Sloatsburg, New York. It pairs mahjong instruction with The Ranch's signature program of guided hikes, fitness, yoga, massage and plant-forward meals. It suits anyone who wants to learn or deepen their mahjong while spending several days in a structured, distraction-free setting. The mahjong instruction comes from Gold Coast Mahjong.

What to Expect

The Ranch describes its retreats as "No Decisions. No Distractions." Everything is arranged for you, so the days can be given over to movement, rest and play. Alongside the mahjong instruction, the daily regimen draws on the signature Ranch program:

- Guided hikes of two or four hours through the surrounding landscape
- Daily fitness classes, including morning stretch, strength and conditioning, and restorative yoga
- A therapeutic, deep-tissue massage for every full day of your stay
- Time in nature and mindfulness practice
- Cooking demonstrations, educational wellness sessions and seasonal guest speakers

The Ranch frames its retreats as a return rather than an escape, aiming to recalibrate physical and mental capacity and build grounded, lasting wellbeing. Retreats are designed as a group experience, with core programming beginning and ending on set days.

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 region has distinct seasonal shifts, the character of the hikes and outdoor time changes through the year.

Guests stay in a beautifully appointed, airy guest room or a private cottage. Saunas, a cold plunge and a heated swimming pool are available during your stay.

Meals and snacks are organic and plant-forward, made without alcohol, dairy, gluten or processed sugars. In Hudson Valley, arrivals are welcomed on Sunday, Monday and Thursday, and guests may add nights before the retreat begins or extend their stay, depending on availability. Added nights before the retreat include noon check-in, elective wellness programming, meals and a weekend massage.
