I'm not aware of a way to make spice work with vmware hypervisor. So the
solution wouldn't be the same as we can do with KVM.

If your guest is Linux on Xorg, you could try x11spice [0] and connect
with a spice client like virt-viewer or remote-viewer (part of
virt-viewer package) [1]. The remote-viewer client is also available in
windows.
