Relaxation, connection & Mahjong.
Le Mahj Club by Neapolitan Mahj brings women together for luxury American Mahjong experiences on the North Carolina coast — from brunch on the water to weekend retreats. Expect wellness, connection, and plenty of great tiles in beautiful settings.
Please Note
Our events are designed for guests who already know the basics of American Mahjong and are comfortable playing on their own — using the current card, completing the Charleston, and following standard rules. You definitely don't need to be an advanced player! These are relaxed, social gatherings designed for playing, connecting, and having fun rather than instruction.

Questions & Answers
