Is Starlink available in Spain in 2025 and how much does it cost?
Yes — Starlink is available in Spain in 2025. Pricing varies by plan, region, and promotions: standard residential plans in Spain typically sit in the mid-€40s to €70s per month range, with a one-time hardware cost commonly around €349 in many European markets (although SpaceX has rolled out promotions in some countries that reduce or finance the hardware cost). For exact availability and final price for your address, Starlink asks users to check the availability map and enter their service address on the official site.
Why does this matter in Spain?
Spain has a mix of dense city coverage and rural, mountainous, and island areas where terrestrial broadband can be patchy. Satellite internet from low-Earth-orbit constellations like Starlink is attractive for:
-
Remote homes and farms (where fiber never arrived),
-
Second homes and holiday properties (islands, mountain cabins),
-
Emergency backup or critical sites (power outages showed the value of satellite links), and
-
Businesses or events needing temporary high-speed connectivity.
Is Starlink officially available across Spain in 2025?
SpaceX’s Starlink service is offered in Spain and the company lists Spain on its country/region service pages. The Starlink website provides Spanish language service-plan pages and an interactive availability map where prospective customers can enter their address to see whether service is currently supported at their exact location. While the service is broadly available nationwide, availability can still be address-specific (especially in dense urban pockets where regulatory or capacity constraints may apply). For this reason, Starlink directs users to check availability by address on its map.
What plans and features are offered in Spain (2025 snapshot)
Starlink’s product lineup has evolved and the main consumer tiers you’ll commonly see are:
-
Residential (Home) — Designed for everyday home internet with unlimited data; marketed as the primary home service.
-
Residential Lite / Lower-cost tiers — In some European markets a lower-priced tier appears, with either lower prioritized speeds or region-specific pricing.
-
On-the-Go / RV & Roam — For users who want mobility (campers, RVs, nomads) with the ability to use service at changing locations.
-
Business / Premium — Higher price, higher throughput and Service Level Agreements for commercial customers.
Feature highlights include plug-and-play setup, high availability (Starlink advertises >99% uptime for many regions), and unlimited data on most consumer plans. Specific feature names and pricing tiers shown on the Starlink site differ by country and may change with promotions.
Typical cost breakdown for a Spanish customer (what to expect)
There are two common cost components:
-
Hardware (one-time):
-
Historically in Europe the standard Starlink kit (dish + router + mounts) has been priced around €349. SpaceX has run promotions and new subscription options that in some markets reduce the upfront hardware cost to €0 if you sign a longer prepaid subscription or meet promotional terms — but fine print often applies.
-
-
Monthly subscription:
-
Published and observed monthly prices across European markets vary by plan. Sources and market reports for Spain in 2024–2025 show typical residential pricing in the €40–€75 / month range depending on whether you buy a lower-tier “lite” plan, the standard residential plan, or premium/business tier. Some summaries and local guides report standard residential service in Spain around €65–€70/month in 2024, while Starlink’s Spanish service-plans page lists base offerings that can start at around €40/month for certain mobility or entry tiers — so expect a range rather than a single price. Promotions and regional differential pricing sometimes make Spain cheaper than some Eastern European markets for entry tiers.
-
Important: taxes, shipping, and any local import/demand surcharges can change the final checkout price. Starlink occasionally applies “demand surcharges” or regionally varies packages, so always review the checkout total before purchase.
Performance you can expect in Spain
Starlink’s low-Earth orbit network is designed for lower latency and higher throughput than traditional geostationary satellite internet. In practice users in Spain commonly report:
-
Download speeds ranging from tens to several hundred Mbps depending on plan, congestion, and local ground-station connectivity.
-
Latency typically lower than GEO satellites (often ~20–50 ms for many routes), making many real-time tasks viable.
Actual performance depends on local demand and whether the area is served by nearby ground stations and Starlink capacity allocations. The 2025 Spanish blackout events highlighted Starlink’s resilience when terrestrial infrastructure lost power — usage surged and the service became a critical fallback in some areas.
How to check availability and order in Spain
-
Go to the Starlink Spanish site (starlink.com/es) and open the Availability Map.
-
Enter the service address where you want service. Starlink will confirm if the current kit and plan can be delivered to that exact location.
-
Review hardware and plan prices shown for your address — the checkout screen will show taxes, shipping and any regional surcharges.
-
Watch for promotional offers: from time to time SpaceX launches promotions (e.g., hardware financing or temporary hardware price reductions) that can change the upfront cost.
Practical tips before you buy
-
Compare total cost of ownership: include hardware, monthly fee, shipping, taxes and any possible cancellation/prorate rules for promotional hardware deals.
-
Check local regulations: some densely populated urban addresses may have different installation rules or need additional permits.
-
Consider use case: if you need a stationary home connection, choose the Residential plan; if you have a camper or want mobility, look at the On-the-Go/Roam options.
-
Speed expectations: don’t assume fiber speeds—Starlink performance is excellent for satellite service but varies by location and time of day.
-
Backup & redundancy: for critical operations consider having a terrestrial backup or an SLA (business/premium plan) if you need guaranteed uptime.
Starlink’s role in Spain (2025)
Real-world events in 2025 — notably a major power outage that impacted Spain and Portugal — illustrated the practical value of Starlink as an alternate communications path. During that outage, Starlink usage in Spain spiked and the service helped maintain connectivity for critical users in areas where terrestrial networks were down. This underscores Starlink’s utility as both a primary option in poorly served areas and a resilient backup where terrestrial networks are vulnerable.
Should you get Starlink in Spain in 2025?
If you live in a rural, island, or underserved area of Spain, or need a resilient backup link for emergencies or events, Starlink is a strong option in 2025. It’s broadly available in Spain, offers competitive speeds for satellite internet, and a range of plans that suit homes, RVs, and businesses. Pricing varies — verify the current monthly and hardware prices for your exact address on Starlink’s Spanish site before buying, and keep an eye out for promotions that may reduce the upfront cost.
