Ultimately there are no cabinet woods which termites will not attack. Redwoods and cedars have a high tannic acid content which adds resistance. Old Growth Redwood is best in this regard but the tannins deplete over time.
If it is wood and if it is in Hawaii it is generally doomed unless regular maintenance and attention is applied. One could for example make sure that the cabinet woods are pressure treated with boric acid but that will only last a few years.
Then tenting will be needed periodically. Since you have destroyed cabinets it is likely that your house structure is in bad shape too if it is made of wood.

Assume the best and ask questions.
