Jekyll Island Retreat

Join us for a Hobby Holiday retreat April 2027 at the iconic Jekyll Island Club in Jekyll Island, GA.

From April 25-27,2027, we’ll gather in this timeless setting for a few days of connection, creativity, and relaxation. Spend your days playing mahjong, stitching needlepoint, diving into a good book, and enjoying meaningful conversation—all at your own pace.

Whether you come with friends or arrive solo, you’ll be welcomed into a warm, inviting community where you can truly unwind and recharge.

This is more than a getaway—it’s the beginning of something special.

Starting Sunday afternoon, once you’ve checked in and settled, please join us in the beautiful Taft Room for open mahjong. It’s the perfect way to ease into the retreat—pull up a chair, play a few rounds, and start connecting.

Later that evening, we’ll gather again for a special social where everyone can mix, mingle, and get to know one another. Enjoy a drink, light hors d’oeuvres, and relaxed conversation as we kick off the retreat together. 

After the reception, we'll enjoy a group dinner so we can all get to know one another.

The room will remain open for games, needlepoint, and easy conversation—stay as long as you’d like. 

Monday morning, you’ll wake up in your beautifully appointed room at The Jekyll Island Club and ease into the day at your own pace. If you’ve signed up for needlepoint or mahjong lessons, you’ll plan your day around your scheduled class times. 

Throughout the day, mahjong, canasta, Rummikub, puzzles, and cards will be available whenever the mood strikes. You’ll also have full access to everything the resort has to offer—whether that means unwinding at the spa, horseback riding, or eve enjoy an island bike ride.

We’ll come back together for a group lunch, a perfect moment to reconnect and share the day. Monday evening dinner is on your own, but we’re happy to help coordinate reservations—especially if you’re traveling solo or hoping to meet new friends.

After dinner, it’s time to slip into your most stylish pajamas and return to the group room for a cozy, fun-filled night. We’ll host bingo with at least four rounds and fun prizes, along with late-night games, snacks, and plenty of laughter to end the day.

Tuesday, it’s time to say goodbye—but not before a little more time together. Join us once again  for a relaxed morning of games, needlepoint, and connection.

We’ll gather for one final, lovely lunch before heading our separate ways. While it’s always hard to leave, you’ll head home feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and grateful for the new friendships and memories made in Jekyll Island.

We have secured a room rate of $179(plus taxes and fees) for a double occupancy room. Once you purchase your retreat ticket you'll receive information to book your room.

The early bird rate of $1,000 will go on sale fall 2026.
