Yes—foreigners can buy villas in Spain, including non-residents.
In most cases you’ll need an NIE (foreigner ID number), proof of funds for compliance checks, and a lawyer who can verify the villa’s legal status before you pay major deposits.
The purchase completes when you sign the title deed (escritura) in front of a Spanish Notary (Notario) and ownership is registered at the Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad).
If you’re buying from abroad, you can often complete via power of attorney once your legal checks are in place.
