A little strategy, a little sparkle, and a lot of fun.
Game night is always a good idea, but Mahjong night? That’s a Cabana must. It’s where effortless style meets timeless tradition, with a healthy dose of friendly competition and fabulous snacks. Whether you're brand new to the tiles or a seasoned pro, a Mahjong night is the perfect excuse to gather your girls, pour a cocktail, and lean into the vibe.
Step One: Set the Scene
Like any good Cabana gathering, the atmosphere should feel warm, inviting, and just a little extra. Start with a beautiful table—think layered linens, soft lighting, and maybe even a touch of vintage glamour. Add some comfy chairs, plenty of pillows, and don’t forget your Mahjong set (bonus points if it's pastel or lacquered to perfection).
Cabana Tip: Fresh flowers, pretty coasters, and a chic snack setup go a long way. We’re aiming for laid-back luxury.
Step Two: Dress the Part
Game night is the perfect excuse to bring out your breeziest caftan or coziest pair of fabulous pajamas. Comfort is key, but style is never sacrificed.
Step Three: Learn the Tiles
Mahjong is all about strategy, pattern recognition, and a little bit of luck. And while it might seem intimidating at first, it’s surprisingly easy to learn and endlessly fun to master. Play with open hands as you're learning, laugh through the mix-ups, and celebrate every win (even the little ones).
Cabana Tip: Have a quick how-to card at each place setting for any new players. It’s chic and helpful.
Step Four: Elevate the Snacks
No Mahjong night is complete without a perfectly curated spread. Keep things easy but elevated with beautiful bites and signature sips.
🧀 Charcuterie with a twist – Add candied nuts, dried citrus, and floral crackers.
🥒 Mini cucumber sandwiches – Because dainty snacks are always in.
🍹 The Mahjong Mule – Vodka, ginger beer, fresh lime, and a splash of elderflower liqueur served over crushed ice in your cutest glasses.
Step Five: Let the Fun Begin
Once the tiles are stacked and the drinks are flowing, it’s all about good vibes and great company. Put on our Cabana playlist (linking here), cheer each other on, and don’t take the rules too seriously. This is your version of Mahjong and it should feel as joyful as watching the sunset in SEASIDE®!
A Cabana Mahjong Night is less about winning and more about the moment. The laughter, the little rituals, the perfectly placed flower arrangements—it all adds up to a night you’ll want to repeat again and again.
So gather your girls, light a candle, and let the tiles fall where they may.
Tiles and good times await.
