Resorts of Suriname

The ten districts of Suriname are divided into 63 resorts (Dutch: ressorten).

Within the capital city of Paramaribo, a resort entails a neighbourhood; in other cases it is more akin to a municipality, consisting of a central place with a few settlements around it.

The resorts in the Sipaliwini District are especially large, since the interior of Suriname is sparsely inhabited.

The average resort is about 2,600 square kilometres (1,000 sq mi) and has almost 8,000 inhabitants.

The Paramacca resort is the northern part of Tapanahony, and mainly inhabited by the Paramaccan people.
