Bloomberg Calls Mahjong Wellness Retreats the Latest Luxury Travel Trend
A new Bloomberg feature places American mahjong at the center of a growing wellness-getaway boom.
Bloomberg has weighed in on a trend American mahjong players have been watching for a while. In a May 19 feature titled "Mahjong Wellness Retreats Are the Latest Luxury Travel Trend," the outlet reports that retreats pairing tile play with yoga, sound baths, and stays at restored estates are drawing a growing crowd.
According to the report, the appeal is the mix: the social, focused rhythm of a mahjong table set against a wellness-getaway backdrop. It is the same lifestyle wave that has carried the game into clubs, studios, and now resort itineraries.
OOTT is not affiliated with any retreat or operator named in the coverage and does not sell or book travel. Prim's two cents, and it is only an opinion: the tiles travel well, but the best table is often the one already in your kitchen.
