Heidoti is a village in Boven Saramacca municipality (resort) in Sipaliwini District in Suriname. Heidoti is home to Maroons of the Kwinti tribe.[1]

Heidoti had been built as a camp by the Geological and Mining Services,[2] and was later settled by Nicodemus, who moved his family into the hamlet. In 1915, Nicodemus was appointed village chief.[1] Since 2009, Heidoti is home to the Heidoti Tropical Park.[3]

Heidoti can be reached by boat from Nieuw Jacobkondre, which has road access to the rest of the country,[4] or from the Cabana Airstrip.[5] In November 2019, IAMGOLD finished a road to the Saramacca Development Project in Cabana giving Heidoti direct access to the rest of the country.[6][7]
