IN RESIDENCE AT

THE OBEROI

A women-only longevity journey for the chapter beyond achievement.

Arc Vitae is a four-month, faculty-led intelligent longevity system centred on a 15-day private-jet journey through Spain, Morocco, Egypt and India, with stays at Mandarin Oriental and exceptional Oberoi properties.

Designed for twelve women who have built extraordinary lives and are now asking how to live the next part well. Arc Vitae brings together biological insight, expert guidance, restorative environments and meaningful peer connection.

Grounded in science and guided by a distinguished faculty of specialists, the experience combines advanced biological understanding, evidence-informed practices and carefully chosen environments to help you understand where you are now, and make more informed choices about what comes next.

The work begins two months before departure, continues throughout the 15-day journey, and extends for one month with the faculty after you return home. At its centre is your Living Blueprint, developed throughout the experience and refined in the twelve months that follows.

Guidance

A women-only longevity journey for the chapter beyond achievement.

Arc Vitae is a four-month, faculty-led intelligent longevity system centred on a 15-day private-jet journey through Spain, Morocco, Egypt and India, with stays at Mandarin Oriental and exceptional Oberoi properties.

Designed for twelve women who have built extraordinary lives and are now asking how to live the next part well. Arc Vitae brings together biological insight, expert guidance, restorative environments and meaningful peer connection.

Grounded in science and guided by a distinguished faculty of specialists, the experience combines advanced biological understanding, evidence-informed practices and carefully chosen environments to help you understand where you are now, and make more informed choices about what comes next.

The work begins two months before departure, continues throughout the 15-day journey, and extends for one month with the faculty after you return home. At its centre is your Living Blueprint, developed throughout the experience and refined in the twelve months that follows.

"There comes a point when the question changes: not what comes next, but how do I live this life well? I created Arc Vitae for that moment."

The women who come to Arc Vitae are not looking for escape. They are looking for clarity — understanding how their biology, lived experience and environment shape the next chapter of their lives. Intelligent longevity begins with understanding where you are now and making informed choices about what comes next.

Every woman arrives at this point differently, shaped by her experiences, achievements and ambitions. Arc Vitae creates the space to understand your current state, reconnect with what matters, and make more conscious decisions about the future.

Arc Vitae is built around this moment of transition — combining biological insight, specialist guidance and carefully chosen environments to help you understand yourself more deeply and create a personalised path forward through your Living Blueprint.

Throughout the journey, that work is held, interpreted, and developed by Arc Vitae’s specialist faculty bringing clinical insight, human understanding, and continuity to every stage of the experience.

Deborah Delaney Architect and Founder
Arc Vitae Philosophy
The Arc Vitae Method

Three disciplines.
One integrated intelligence.

Three complementary perspectives come together to create the foundation of the Arc Vitae experience.

Biological
Intelligence

Maps what is actually happening inside your body, beneath symptoms, assumptions and guesswork.

Sensory
Intelligence

Reveals how your environment, perception and nervous system shape the way you function, respond and perform.

Human
Intelligence

Brings the wider picture into focus: your history, relationships, ambitions and the life you are choosing to build.

Converging Into

The Living Blueprint

Where biological, sensory and human intelligence come together as one personalised framework.

Intelligent Integration

The Living Blueprint

The Living Blueprint is not a report. It is a living intelligence system where the faculty's complementary expertise comes together into one personalised methodology. It is designed to help you understand where you are now and make more informed choices about what comes next.

Built over four months, the Living Blueprint brings the complementary expertise of the entire Arc Vitae faculty into one personalised methodology. Developed before, during and after the journey, it evolves with you over time and remains accessible through your phone as an ongoing guide.

The Journey September 18 – October 2, 2027

A 15-day journey within a four-month intelligent longevity system

Environments aren't the backdrop. They are part of the method.
The journey is the immersive centrepiece of a wider four-month intelligent longevity system. Guided by faculty expertise and supported by the Arc Vitae methodology, the 15-day private-jet journey brings together exceptional environments, cultural depth and meaningful experiences across four extraordinary destinations.

Arrival in Madrid
Spain

Madrid

September 18-19, 2027 (1 night)

Madrid marks the beginning of your journey, staying at Mandarin Oriental Ritz after you connect from your home city.

Your first evening is simple and informal: dinner together, a chance to meet the group, and the start of the conversations that will shape the days ahead.

Morocco

Marrakech

September 19-23, 2027 (4 nights)

Marrakech sets the foundation. At The Oberoi Marrakech, mornings and afternoons balance shared faculty sessions with time on your own - enough structure to feel held, and enough space to notice what you actually need.

You’ll learn how to support your body and mind before trying to optimise them, building coherence so they work together. It’s highly personalised, focused on the conditions that best support you: nutrition, sleep, recovery, focus, and pacing.

Alongside this, expect spa treatments, unstructured rest, a nutrition-focused cooking class, and community that forms naturally over shared meals, time together, and a private visit to a bird sanctuary that reconnects you with nature and supports local conservation.

Marrakech Landscape
Red Sea Landscape
Egypt

The Red Sea Coast

September 23-27, 2027 (4 nights)

Egypt and the Red Sea shift the journey into energy and motion. In the faculty sessions, you continue working with your Living Blueprint , exploring how your individual biology influences behaviour, resilience, and long-term performance.

Mindful practice helps you return to yourself - not as someone new, but in deeper alignment with who you already are - and to name what living well means for you.

Shared experiences ground the days: time in the dunes or a sunset cruise, a visit to the old town of Hurghada, and rituals of wellbeing you can take home. Evenings bring the group together too, including a BBQ on the beach, as your Living Blueprint becomes a clearer, more personalised record of what works best for you.

India

Khajuraho

September 27 – October 1, 2027 (4 nights)

India brings focus. At The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace, the days are spacious, anchored by the integration of the Oberoi ASMI wellness programme - breathwork, movement, nutrition, and body work.

This phase of Arc Vitae is designed for restoration and integration, guided by everything you’ve learned so far. Your focus is on sleep quality, nervous system recovery, digestive and metabolic support, and lowering inflammation.

With support from the Oberoi wellness team, you’ll select treatments that align with your personal priorities, so the care stays tailored to what you most need now. A session with the founder of Arc Vitae brings everything you’ve achieved together, translating insight into a clear next step.

A guided walk of the Rajgarh grounds and an early-morning visit to the temples add quiet perspective, and the journey closes with a final celebration dinner in India.

India Palace Yoga
Madrid Ritz Garden Final Evening
Spain

Madrid

October 1-2, 2027 (1 night)

Your journey concludes back in Madrid. One final night allows time with the group and faculty before departure.

Post-trip continuity continues privately for one month, with follow-up conversations included.

Logistics

Private Jet Travel

Movement as Method

Arc Vitae is designed in motion because what supports your wellbeing has to hold in real life, across which pace, climate, sensory input, and demand.

Privately chartered flights keep transitions calm and coherent, rather than disruptive. Simple onboard systems support rest, hydration, light exposure, and regulation.

A dedicated guest services concierge manages every transition end to end, including luggage, with personalised service onboard. The result is travel that supports the programme rather than interrupting it: seamless movement, protected time, and clean contrasts, so what you learn becomes usable, repeatable, and long term.

The People and Places Behind the Journey

Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Intelligent longevity is the deliberate application of biological, sensory, and environmental intelligence to sustain high performance and wellbeing across the arc of your life. It moves beyond merely extending lifespan, focusing instead on optimizing how well you live and preserving your capacity to carry responsibility with ease.
Arc Vitae is designed for women who have achieved significant milestones in life and are now seeking a deliberate pause to recalibrate. It is for those who value privacy, depth, and the intelligent application of longevity science to sustain their performance and wellbeing in the next chapter.
A retreat is designed to make you feel better while you are away. Arc Vitae is designed to change how you live when you return. The destinations, private aviation and exceptional wellness experiences create the setting, but the real work happens through advanced biological testing, health data and specialist faculty expertise. The difference is not the luxury. It is what the luxury makes possible.
The journey moves sequentially across four distinct contexts—Madrid, Morocco, Egypt, and India. You will engage in personalized biological and sensory intelligence sessions, restorative physical treatments, and curated cultural experiences, culminating in the creation of your Living Blueprint.
The pace is deliberately spacious. It is designed for restoration, not exhaustion. Mornings and afternoons balance shared faculty sessions with ample unstructured time, allowing you to process, rest, utilize spa facilities, or simply engage with the environment at a rhythm that serves you.
The journey is restorative rather than physically demanding. While there are opportunities for movement, yoga, and walking, all activities are fully adaptable. The focus is on establishing a rhythm that supports your body, not pushing it to exhaustion.
You will be travelling with a carefully curated, intimate group of like-minded female peers. The women who join Arc Vitae typically operate at similar levels of responsibility and are seeking the same deliberate space for insight and recalibration.
Arc Vitae is limited to twelve women per journey, intentionally small so that the experience remains intimate, faculty access is direct, and discretion is absolute.
Our core female faculty—specializing in biological intelligence, sensory intelligence, and journey architecture—travels with you across all destinations. This ensures continuous, integrated guidance from the first day in Madrid to your final departure.
The journey includes advanced pre-departure biological testing (such as genetic and microbiome analysis) to deeply inform your personalized protocol. However, the journey itself is not a clinical environment and does not involve medical interventions during travel.
Yes. The journey's profound focus on metabolic stability, sleep architecture, nervous system regulation, and highly personalized biological intelligence is exceptionally supportive of women navigating the physiological transitions of perimenopause and menopause.
Post-trip continuity is built directly into the experience. You receive one full month of private integration support and follow-up conversations with the faculty after returning home, ensuring your Living Blueprint translates seamlessly into your daily life.
Privacy is structural. We use private aviation, exclusive accommodations, and secure data platforms (VitaSpan). The group size is kept intimate, and all partners are vetted for their discretion and experience with high-profile individuals.
The investment covers the complete 15-day journey: private jet travel between destinations, luxury accommodation at Mandarin Oriental and Oberoi properties, all meals, transfers, diagnostics, faculty sessions, treatments, and post-journey support. Flights to the starting point (Madrid) and from the end point are not included.
