NEOM unveils a new destination called Utamo

NEOM has revealed that its new destination, Utamo, will be an event space to host global artists in northwest Saudi Arabia. The new venue will feature a performance area, VIP lounges, and signature restaurants.

“Guests will arrive at Utamo via an extended pathway of a garden promenade, featuring more than 50 species of shrubs, herbs, and flowers, before reaching the grand hall. The 64-meter-high entrance, which pays homage to art and design, sets the scene for the awe-inspiring experiences awaiting guests inside,” states NEOM.

Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura (RBTA) designed the project, with Ricardo E. Bofill and Giorgio Cui as the lead architects, according to NEOM’s new video.

“Utamo is going to be one of the most unique venues in the world, a theater of the future where the greatest artists come together for an exclusive experience,” said Ricardo E. Bofill.

In a previous announcement, the company unveiled the launch of three new destinations named Leyja, Epicon, and Siranna as part of the Gulf of Aqaba.
