The Long View
Ten to fourteen nights · £8,050 per person · the deepest chapter
The programme for a guest approaching fifty, approaching retirement, or approaching a decision to live differently. Canyon Ranch's four-night Longevity8 is around £15,800 per person; The Long View is half that price, at three times the duration, with a warmer tone, shorter flight, and substantially better food.
Twice the duration, deeper clinical contact.
- Extended Ayurvedic programme — daily Ayurvedic bodywork from the Ayush menu, sequenced across twelve to fourteen nights with varying intensity. Up to two treatments per day, with rest days built into the rhythm. Dr Prasanna designs the sequence at intake and reviews it at least every three days.
- Full Ayurvedic intake and personal prescription at arrival, with written protocol reviewed across four clinical touchpoints during the stay.
- Light fasting days integrated into the programme where clinically indicated. Heavier supervised fasting is deferred to the Phase 03 lab-enabled programme.
- Daily clinical contact with Dr Prasanna — review, adjustment, prescription across the stay.
- Two DEXA scans — arrival and departure. Twelve nights is long enough for genuinely measurable within-stay change in body composition, especially when combined with diet and movement protocols.
- Medilab Tier 4 blood panel — the Deep Longevity Panel — four time points across the relationship rather than the stay alone. The arrival draw is the full Medilab MediMan or MediWoman comprehensive panel covering approximately one hundred individual data points across every major system, plus a full cancer marker panel (AFP, CEA, CA15-3, CA19-9, LDH, and beta-HCG for men or CA125 for women) giving a baseline read across the major sites. A Styku 3D body composition scan is included at arrival and departure — non-ionising, sixty seconds, the most photographable before-and-after of the entire programme. A targeted mid-stay recheck on flagged markers, a departure recheck on the most movement-sensitive markers, and — most importantly — a posted three-month follow-up panel sent to the guest's home country, with a video consultation reviewing the result. The follow-up is what converts a fortnight in Jersey from a destination stay into a longitudinal relationship. Bundled with four scheduled clinician consultations: a thirty-minute pre-arrival call, a forty-five-minute arrival results consultation, a thirty-minute departure consultation, and a thirty-minute post-results review three months after the guest returns home.
- Daily health coaching and weekly programme reviews.
- Eight Sleep protocol adjusted and re-programmed across the stay as sleep data evolves.
- Night-waking protocol fully integrated, with sleep-stage tracking of intervention effect over the full stay.
- Daily contemplative practice as a programme anchor — guided pranayama, breathwork, and mindfulness woven into the daily rhythm from Day 1. Two weeks is long enough for the practice to become embedded rather than introduced, and long enough for the change in HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep architecture to show up clearly in the departure data alongside the body-composition and bloodwork shifts. Pranayama sits inside the same Ayurvedic tradition as the bodywork and dietary protocols rather than as a separate practice grafted on.
- Daily sauna, steam and hydrotherapy circuit in the Ayush Spa wing, sustained across the full two weeks.
- Expanded educational component — multiple Ayurvedic philosophy classes, two longevity cooking sessions.
- Eight-week post-stay follow-up with fortnightly virtual coaching check-ins.
- Automatic membership in the returning-guest programme, with graduated pricing on future stays and a personal health record that transfers across visits.
The modern panchakarma protocol — full purvakarma, sequenced virechana and basti, targeted nasya, marma work — is planned as the Phase 03 extension of the Long View. Full detail, including what implementation would require, is set out on the Phases page. Phase 02 Long View is designed to stand on its own commercial and clinical merits without it.
Where each part of the £8,050 actually goes.
The Long View is sold as a single bundled fee — £8,050, all-in. Inside that fee, the money flows in three directions. £2,537 flows through to Ayush as the existing spa retail value of the included treatments. £550 flows through to Medilab as the indicative pass-through cost of the Tier 4 Deep Longevity Panel — four time points across the relationship, cancer markers, two Styku 3D scans, and four scheduled clinician consultations. The remaining £4,963 stays with the hotel and funds the new programme delivery — twelve days of Dr Prasanna's daily clinical contact, two DEXA scans, the on-site diagnostic panels, daily health coaching, the continuously-updated sleep report, the eight-week post-stay follow-up, and the returning-guest programme admin. After costing those new items at £1,348, the hotel keeps £3,615 per booking — a 73% margin on the new-investment portion of the fee. The View is the margin engine; every £100 of View pricing flows almost entirely through to new-investment contribution.
The bundled fee is shown in three blocks. The first two are pass-throughs to third parties — Ayush spa treatments at current retail (May 2025 brochure) and Medilab Tier 4 bloodwork at April 2026 indicative pricing — neither of which carries hotel margin. What's left is the new-programme-delivery portion that funds the new clinical time, diagnostic infrastructure, sleep tracking, coaching, and post-stay follow-up. The 73% margin on that residual is what the board's investment case rests on. The posted three-month follow-up included in the Medilab pass-through is what makes the Long View structurally different from any spa-hotel competitor at any price point. Full per-tier panel detail is on the Medilab partnership page; the four-programme comparison and full methodology is on the Longevity page.
How a Long View would run.
Ten to fourteen nights. The shape is three-part: baseline at the start (days one to three), an established rhythm in the middle (where the programme does its actual work), and consolidation before departure (the last three days). The middle week deliberately runs on a pattern rather than a series of discrete events — by day five or six the body has stopped treating treatment as novelty and starts registering it as rhythm. That shift is the commercially important one.
