With over 15 years of experience in luxury hotels and resorts across Asia, Europe, and Australia, Jay Daha has long been immersed in the art of elevated hospitality. From early days on the floors of five-star properties to overseeing full-scale property development and brand creation, Jay has cultivated a singular vision: to redefine wellness through the lens of uncompromising luxury and global elegance.
Jay’s journey began at the esteemed Swiss Hotel Management School, where he honed his craft in European hospitality. That foundation led him across continents—building seven hotels, managing teams of over 300 staff, and launching landmark culinary and lifestyle experiences in some of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
In 2024, Jay turned his deep-rooted passion for health, wellness, and transformative experiences into a living legacy. He launched an expansive 2,000 sqm wellness destination in Bali, Indonesia, integrating spa therapies, fitness, and holistic rituals under one iconic brand. The success of this concept set the stage for something even more refined—The Lario Collection.
Inspired by the poetic charm of Lake Como and the timeless elegance of the Amalfi Coast, The Lario Collection was born from Jay’s lifelong love of Italian hospitality, design, and culture. It’s a brand that marries the precision and warmth of Asian hospitality with the soulful sophistication of European tradition.
Jay envisioned a space where every finish is thoughtful, every moment intentional, and every guest experience handcrafted. From villa construction detail to culinary programming and spa immersion, no element is too small to be perfected.
Today, alongside his wellness ventures, Jay also oversees a portfolio of four restaurants across Asia, offering Mexican, Pan-Asian, Vietnamese, Italian, and Casual Café experiences—each one echoing his belief that food, like wellness, is a powerful ritual.
The Lario Collection reflects Jay’s desire to offer something the luxury market hasn’t truly seen:
