Coeroeni is a resort in Suriname, located in the Sipaliwini District. Its population at the 2012 census was 1,046. The resort is mainly inhabited by indigenous people[1] of the Tiriyó tribe.[2] Kwamalasamutu is the main village of the resort and home to the granman (paramount chief) Asongo Alalaparu.[3]
The resort was created in 1983 out of Nickerie as a tribal area.[4] The disputed area of south-west Suriname known as Tigri Area belongs to the Coeroeni resort.[5]
