Kona Kai Resort

Kona Kai feels like a little slice of island paradise right on San Diego's Shelter Island. Palm trees, marina views, and that laid-back Southern California energy — it's the kind of place where you immediately relax.

I wanted to capture that easygoing resort lifestyle. Sunset cocktails by the water, morning paddleboards gliding past, the way the golden hour light hits the property just right. Pure San Diego.
