I'm not sure you'll get the features of Virtualbox if needing GUI but there is Hypervisor.framework[1] based upon xhyve[2]. It's what powers Docker Desktop on Mac. You can build linux images with linux kit[3]

Just to clarify, xhyve is just bhyve ported to macOS and RUNS ON Hypervisor.framework which is not based on any other Hypervisor.

Parallels for ARM, UTM (many QEMU frontends), xhyve and others are decent frontends for Hypervisor.framework on macOS.
