The Westin Maldives Mirandhoo Resort Appoints General Manager – Mr. Brendan Corcoran

January 28th, 2019 – Marriott International is pleased to introduce Brendan Corcoran as General Manager of The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, representing the debut of Westin Hotels & Resorts in the Republic of Maldives. A combination of 70 superb overwater and island villas, the resort is an idyllic island paradise in the UNESCO listed Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve. The resort takes inspiration from the “shape of the water”, the marine life of the Atoll and the elements of water, sun, and wind. The resort has been designed to maximize environmental sustainability whilst providing a supremely luxurious and tranquil Maldivian escape.

Brendan’s industry experience spans over twenty years in a variety of leadership positions. A graduate of the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Ireland, Brendan embarked on his professional journey at the Hilton Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa. From there, his passion for embracing new opportunities and experiences saw him excel in positions with some of the world’s leading hospitality brands, including Marriott International, InterContinental Hotels Group, and Per Aquum Hotels and Resorts. Prior to his appointment at The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, his role as General Manager at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Baa Atoll, Maldives saw him gain deep insights and knowledge of the region.

A natural multi-tasker and great communicator, Brendan incorporates skills acquired at the Harvard Business School in the USA to strategically deliver creative and practical solutions to problems in a fast-paced guest environment, spearhead the commercial and operational success of the property, and ensure the resort provides consistently exceptional guest experiences.

The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort has several excellent dining options. The all-day dining experience at Island Kitchen reflects the Westin brand’s Eat Well philosophy with a balanced menu of Chinese, Indian and Maldivian cuisine.
