“Laya” can refer to several different things, so the answer depends on what you mean by “where is laya.” Here are the main possibilities and where they are located:

1. Laya, Bhutan (the mountain village)

  • Laya is a remote high-altitude town in Laya Gewog, Gasa District, in northwestern Bhutan.
  • It’s known as one of the highest permanent settlements in Bhutan, at about 3,820 meters above sea level, and is home to the indigenous Layap people.

2. Laya, Guinea (the village in West Africa)

  • There is also a village called Laya (or Layah) in Forécariah Prefecture, in the Kindia Region of southwestern Guinea.
  • Its coordinates are around latitude 9.287267 and longitude −13.280122, and it lies in the Greenwich Mean Time zone.

3. Laya by Shang (property in the Philippines)

  • “Laya” is the name of a residential development by Shang Properties near Ortigas Center in Metro Manila, Philippines.
  • The project’s marketing location references Mandaluyong and Pasig (around C5, near major malls, offices, and hospitals in Ortigas).

4. Laya Beach Hotel (Sri Lanka)

  • Laya Beach is a hotel located in Wadduwa, Sri Lanka, designed as a quick seaside getaway with sun, sea, sand, and “weekend escape” vibes.

5. Laya as an organization/brand name

  • “Laya” is also used as the name of a creative hub focused on “creating second chances” through craft and creative expression.

If you tell me which “Laya” you’re asking about (the Bhutan village, the Guinea village, the Philippine property, the Sri Lankan hotel, or something/someone else), I can narrow it down and focus on that one.
