Haʻaheo Zablan

As a proud product of Papakōlea, the first Hawaiian Homestead on Oʻahu, Haʻaheo Zablan keeps one eye on traditional Hawaiian culture, history, and values, and the other on innovation, regeneration, and the future of the Hawaiʻi visitor industry. As one of the few Native Hawaiian General Managers in Hawaiʻi, Haʻaheo has completely changed the position of the Kaimana Beach Hotel and has created a premier destination in Waikīkī for both kamaʻāina and malihini alike.

Ha’aheo celebrates his māhū identity in everything he’s involved with. He’s especially honored with kuleana to support the Hawai’i LGBT Legacy Foundation as Board Chairperson and through his kūlana as Board President for Hawai‘i Health & Harm Reduction. HHHRC works at the intersection of Homelessness, Mental Health, Chronic Disease, Criminal Justice, and substance use.
