Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay

The resort and its setting

Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay is a waterfront hotel-style resort on the headland between Patong and Kamala, built into the hillside above Kalim Bay. Google's own editorial summary describes it as "luxe accommodations in a chic waterfront hotel with 2 restaurants & 2 bars, plus a spa & a pool" — and with a 4.4/5 rating from 4,686 reviews, the reviews back that up. It operates under the Club Wyndham brand, so owners here hold Club Wyndham points rather than a fixed week at a single property, which is worth knowing whether you're buying, selling, or simply trying to understand your contract.

The area and things to do

The address puts the resort in Tambon Thep Krasatti, Kamala, on Phuket's west coast — a part of the island known for a calmer beach scene than Patong, which is just a short distance further south, while still being close enough to reach Patong's nightlife, shopping and restaurants without difficulty. Kamala itself has a long sandy beach, beachfront seafood restaurants and a more relaxed, family-friendly pace. Phuket's west coast generally sees its busiest weeks around the European winter holidays and during Chinese New Year, with a quieter shoulder season in the months either side of the May–October monsoon.

Selling or renting a week here

Owners who no longer use their points, or who want to stop paying the annual fee, can list their Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay week for resale or rental directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you through the platform, and there's no commission — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise.

Before listing, it helps to understand what actually happens at transfer. According to Club Wyndham, moving ownership from one party to another carries a $399 ownership change processing charge, which is typically factored into the sale. Owners should also be aware that resale points come with some restrictions: Club Wyndham specifies that resale points cannot be used for VIP benefits, Club Pass, Wyndham Rewards conversion, or PlusPartners — so a buyer is acquiring usage rights and points, not the full suite of developer-purchased perks. Right of first refusal is applied inconsistently across the system: some Club Wyndham Access contracts from around 2017 onward carry it, though owners report it's rarely exercised in practice. Published transfer times aren't available, so it's sensible to ask Club Wyndham directly for a current estimate once a sale is agreed.

For renters, the appeal is straightforward: a named, branded resort with restaurants, a bar, a spa and a pool on site, in a location that's easy to reach from both Phuket's airport and its main tourist strip. Renters should always confirm which dates and unit type they're booking, since Club Wyndham points can be used flexibly across different weeks and room configurations.

As this resort sits within Club Wyndham, it also participates in the RCI exchange network, which may matter to a buyer who wants to trade their week for stays elsewhere rather than returning to Phuket every year.

Practical notes

Anyone selling should have their current maintenance fee statement and contract details ready for prospective buyers, since these aren't published figures and vary by points allocation. Buyers, in turn, should ask the seller for the current annual fee and confirm the $399 transfer charge before agreeing a price, so there are no surprises once the paperwork starts moving through Club Wyndham's ownership change process.
