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]
The resort is also home to villages which are only inhabited part of the time.[6]

The Sipaliwini Savanna is a 100,000 hectare nature reserve. It has been a protected area since 1972. The majority of the reserve consists of a savannah which in turn is a continuation of the Brazilian Tumucumaque Mountains National Park. The reserve is in pristine condition with almost no human habitation.[9] This reserve is one of the last frontiers in the tropics, however relatively little is known about the region.[10] The savannah is where the blue poison dart frog was discovered in 1969.[11]
The Werehpai archaeological site, which consists of caves containing petroglyphs of pre-Columbian origin, is located about 10 kilometres from Kwamalasamutu.[12] On the Sipaliwini Savanna relics were discovered of human habitation dating from about 6000 BC.[13]
