The Club at Kona Kai
The Club at Kona Kai began as the dream of C. Arnault Smith. A San Diego activist, Smith envisioned transforming a sandbar into a weather haven for yachts and sail boats. Over time, Shelter Island transformed into a destination for international travelers, celebrities and dignitaries, and became home to our exclusive club.

With indoor/outdoor dining, a lavish spa, and a coveted social calendar, The Club at Kona Kai is revered as the crème de la crème of San Diego’s private clubs.
