Canyon Woods Vacation Club at Canyon de Boracay

The resort and its setting

Canyon Woods Vacation Club is part of the wider Canyon de Boracay development in Malay, Aklan — the municipality that also governs Boracay Island itself. The resort is registered as a lodging property, and its Google rating currently sits at 3.8 out of 5 from 323 reviews, which is worth knowing whether you're pricing a resale or deciding whether to book a rental week. Unlike beachfront Boracay hotels, this property sits on the mainland side, which typically means a calmer setting away from the island crowds, with the beach itself reached via the short boat crossing every Boracay visitor makes.

The area and things to do

Malay is the jumping-off point for Boracay, so most of what owners and renters do here revolves around that crossing: the short boat ride from Caticlan or Cagban jetty onto the island, where White Beach, Stations 1, 2 and 3, and the usual roster of water sports, diving operators and sunset bars are all within easy reach. Caticlan itself has the airport serving Boracay traffic, along with the port facilities owners and guests will use to get across. Staying on the Malay mainland rather than on the island itself tends to suit owners and renters who want a base with some separation from Boracay's busier stretches, while still being able to island-hop over for the day or for longer stretches of their stay.

Selling or renting a week here

If you're an owner ready to move your week on, BidMyTimeshare.com is built around direct, owner-to-owner resale: you list the week yourself, you set the asking price, and interested buyers contact you straight through the platform — there's no agent in the middle and no commission taken from your sale. Sellers pay a small, one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers, and that's the only cost on our side.

Because Canyon Woods Vacation Club is a branded timeshare rather than an independent resort, any resale you arrange privately will still need to go through Canyon Woods Vacation Club's own transfer process once you and a buyer agree on a price. Ask the resort or its owners' association directly for the current transfer or resale fee, whether they hold a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process — these details aren't published figures we can quote, so get them in writing before you finalise a sale. The same applies to the current annual maintenance fee: confirm it with Canyon Woods Vacation Club rather than relying on older figures, since these are reviewed periodically.

Owners here should also tell prospective buyers that the resort carries a verified Interval International affiliation, which is a genuine point of interest for exchange-minded buyers — it means a resale buyer may be able to deposit the week with Interval International for exchange elsewhere, subject to Interval's own membership and deposit rules. A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights to the week itself and, where applicable, the ability to enrol with Interval International; they should not assume any resort upgrades, added inventory, or benefits beyond what the original deed or contract specifies.

If you're renting rather than selling, be upfront in your listing about the exact week, unit size, and whether exchange enrolment is included — renters researching this resort will want to know exactly what they're booking before they commit.

Practical notes

The property address — XWG8+5MR, Station B Sinagpa Rd, Malay, Aklan — places it firmly on the mainland side of the Boracay gateway, so factor the boat crossing into any travel plans you pass on to a renter or buyer. Anyone unfamiliar with the 3.8-star rating should read recent reviews alongside it, since ratings for timeshare properties can reflect a mix of maintenance-era issues and guest expectations about mainland-versus-island positioning.
