5 Best eSIMs for Spain (2025 Guide) - I've Tested Over 20 ESIM BRANDS!

Why Holafly is My Go-To eSIM for Spain

I’ve been using Holafly eSIMs for over 3 years, and every time I use them, they get better!

They’re always offering fantastic value for data, and Spain is no exception. 

Their eSIM for Spain offers unlimited data at 4G/5G speeds, with installation literally by QR code, manual installation, or with a One-Button Install for iOS 17.4 or above (no fiddling with physical SIMs, no waiting around).

Once you land, you turn on the eSIM, activate data roaming, and you’re good to go. For travellers who don’t want to waste time setting up mobile connections — this is a game-changer

Because you're on local Spanish networks (Orange/ Movistar / Vodafone España / Yoigo), coverage tends to be stable across cities, countryside or even islands. 

Holafly also gives flexibility: you can pick how long you need the eSIM — whether you’re visiting for a weekend jaunt, a two-week holiday, or staying months.

If you want to hop across Europe (not just Spain): Holafly’s Europe-wide plan works beautifully — one regional eSIM for multiple countries.

Let’s look at some of the great deals for Spain. 

A one day unlimited plan is less than £4 (£3.79), but what I love about Holafly too is that the data cost actually becomes much better the more days you do! 

So let’s say we’re heading on a city break to Barcelona. A typical city break is 3 nights, 4 days. 

£3.25 a day for unlimited data is EXCELLENT pricing. 

And for a week it’s £24 and two weeks is £38 at just £2.71 a day! 

And that’s without using my 5% discount! 

What’s Great with Holafly

• Plug-and-play simplicity — no physical SIM, just scan a QR and go.
• Unlimited data — no more stress over running out mid-trip or while streaming, navigating, or working remotely.
• Flexible durations & widespread coverage — whether you stay 3 days or 3 months, and whether you’re in big cities or remote regions of Spain.
• Change of plans? You’re covered. I LOVE that with Holafly, if you suddenly had to cancel a trip, then don’t worry, you can purchase your Holafly eSIM with added peace of mind. You have up to 6 months to request a refund.
• You can share up to 500MB-1GB per day with friends or family: Basically this means you can hot spot up to 500MB-1GB depending on the plan you choose! 

What to Know / Where Holafly Isn’t Perfect

• For short trips, per-day cost can feel high compared to some local physical SIM options — you're paying convenience and unlimited-data guarantees.
• No unlimited hot spotting: this is only really an issue if you’re planning on working on your trip, which honestly for most of us, we aren’t! But you can hot spot up to 500MB per day with the Spain eSIM which is great! I often find that I’m happy to sacrifice unlimited hotspotting, for the great value of unlimited data!
  

My verdict: for most travellers — whether you’re backpacking, city-hopping, or living temporarily abroad — Holafly delivers the most hassle-free, reliable and flexible eSIM for Spain.

Holafly’s Europe-Wide eSIM: For Multi-Country Adventures

I think it’s worth mentioning Holafly’s European eSIM! 

If Spain is just one stop on a longer European route — or you just want the freedom to wander — Holafly’s Europe-wide eSIM plan is gold.

With this plan you get unlimited data at 4G/5G across multiple European countries (33 including Spain). Set up is still as seamless as the Spain-only version.

It’s especially useful for travellers planning multi-country trips — no need to swap SIMs, buy local cards, or stress about roaming. Just one eSIM, endless exploring.

If you care about simplicity, flexibility, and staying connected across borders — this is a no-brainer.

Pricing is also very good! 

For a 2 week trip it’s still £38 and if you’re doing a full month of European summer adventuring, then it works out at £61 for 31 days! Less than £2 a day for UNLIMITED data. You can enjoy your trip, stress free that’ll you’ll always be able to stay connected. 

Other eSIM Providers for Spain

If for any reason Holafly isn’t a perfect fit for your trip — maybe you prefer a different interface — there are a few other providers offering eSIMs for Spain.

Here are four to check out: Simovo, Maya Mobile, and Roamless.

2. Simovo - Get 10% off with code Cazzy10

If you’re looking for flexibility and zero fuss with eSIMs — especially useful for digital nomads, remote workers or frequent travellers — SIMOVO should be on your radar.

They’re one of the newer players in the travel-eSIM scene, but they’re backed by an established telecom firm and have quickly built a solid reputation.

When it comes to Spanish eSIMs, they're got a lot to offer, for a great price.

Durations start from 7 days, all the way up to 180 days (50GB for £33 is not bad for that duration!) 

Personally, if I was heading off on a holiday to Spain for a couple of weeks, I'd opt for 5GB for £5. It would be enough to keep me connected in between WiFi connections, and it's excellent value.

But, if you're thinking to yourself, I need much more data, then you'll be pleased to hear they also offer an unlimited Spain eSIM.

You can get 500MB or 1GB per day for £1 & 2 GB per day for £2, and you can choose up to 14 days.

So say you think you're going to use around 2GB per day, then it would cost you £21 for 2 weeks as the pricing gets better the longer you opt for! 

It's also worth mentoning that they have a Europe eSIM plan too, which covers 40+ European countries (including Spain), so if you're planning on dipping into any other neighbouring countries on your trip, then it's worth a look.

They also offer unlimited data for their Europe eSIMs, but packages in general start at £3!

Pros of Simovo eSIM for Spain

• Could be more affordable than some “premium/unlimited data” plans, especially if you choose a lower-data or limited-duration plan.
• Flexible in terms of plan size — good for shorter trips or lighter data users
• You can hot spot all data plans for Spain (unlimited or fixed)

Cons of Simovo eSIM for Spain

• Unlimited plans are limited to 2GBs a day, which may not be enough for heavy data users
• Potentially variable coverage or performance compared with Spain-optimized eSIMs — you might risk slower speeds or patchy signals outside major hubs.

3. Maya Mobile

Maya Mobile has also been another favourite of mine, if I’m not looking for the unlimited data that Holafly offers and they have a range of eSIMs for Spain (and many other countries) with both prepaid and “unlimited-style” plans. Their model gives users options depending on how much data they expect to use. 

You can sign up online, activate via QR code, and get connected quickly. Pricing is good with a Spanish eSIM starting at around $3.99 for a lower data plan & for their unlimited plans, they aren’t truly unlimited, but you can choose between 3 GB of high-speed data, which is cheaper or 5 GB of high-speed data, which is more expensive.

By default, after you exceed that high-speed cap the speed may be throttled for the rest of the day.

Pros of Maya Mobile for Spain 

• Good if you want potentially lower cost than premium “unlimited” eSIMs — maybe ideal for light to moderate data usage.
• Flexibility: you can choose data-capped plans (if you don’t need much data) or “unlimited-style” plans (if you expect heavier use).
• Reasonable for budget-conscious travellers or those who just need data for maps/messages, not heavy streaming.

Cons of Maya Mobile for Spain

• Despite “unlimited” branding, the reality is a speed/data-cap — 3 GB or 5 GB at full speed per day, which may not be enough for heavy users.
• Once you hit the cap — speed throttling might make heavy tasks (like HD video streaming or big uploads) painful or impossible.

4. Roamless

Roamless offers a “global eSIM” service — you buy an eSIM that works in many countries (Spain included) and connect via their app. You don’t necessarily commit to a fixed data package: instead they offer a “pay-as-you-go” model or you can top up credits on demand.

This makes them a flexible option, especially for travellers who maybe bounce between countries, or don’t want to commit to a fixed data plan they might not fully use.

Pros of Roamless eSIM for Spain 

• Pay-as-you-go gives great flexibility — you only spend on what you actually use. Perfect for unpredictable travel schedules.
• No long-term commitment or expiry pressure on data — good for sporadic travel or backup connection when you don’t need constant data. 
• Works across many countries — handy if Spain is just one stop in a bigger international itinerary

Cons of Roamless eSIM for Spain 

• Because the model is pay-as-you-go / credit-based, costs can add up if you use a lot of data — less predictable than “unlimited” eSIMs.
• Data speeds or coverage might depend heavily on local networks, and you might not get the same smooth performance as more dedicated Spain-or EU-specific plans.

5. Soovia

Soovia is another eSIM provider that aims to be an alternative to mainstream global eSIM brands. They’re one of the newer kids on the block, and I find their pricing competitive, and importantly, their app and website clean and easy to use. Plus they allow hot spotting. They offer coverage in Spain (among other countries), promising travellers a way to stay connected without roaming drama.

Pros of Soovia eSIM for Spain 

• Could be a lower-cost or short-trip-friendly alternative — useful if you're holidaying for just a few days and don’t need unlimited data.
• Good to have as a backup or secondary option — if you want to compare price/performance, or prefer a lighter data plan.

Cons of Soovia eSIM for Spain 

• No unlimited data options (unlike Holafly!)
• Coverage and service quality could be more variable — especially outside major urban areas or on islands, which might impact the user experience.

So… Which eSIM Should You Choose?

If you want reliable, unlimited data, easy setup, and peace of mind — no contest: go for Holafly. If your trip is part of a multi-country European adventure, then Holafly Europe-wide eSIM is a brilliant, stress-free choice.

I mean, it’s really hard to beat the price, value and unlimitedness of a Holafly eSIM!  

Will Your Phone Work with eSIM? (2025 Compatible Devices)

Luckily — if your phone is relatively recent, chances are very high it supports eSIM. Major brands have broadly embraced eSIM technology by now.

But Holafly has a compatibility checker for your phone that you can check here. 

Here’s a breakdown:

• Apple iPhone: All iPhones from XS / XR onward (i.e. iPhone XR, XS, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 — and likely newer models) support eSIM. (That’s standard across most eSIM providers, including Holafly.)
  
  
• Android / Other brands: Many modern devices (Samsung, Google Pixel, and many others from 2022 onward) support eSIM. As long as your device is “unlocked” (not tied to a carrier) — you should be good to go.
  
  

Pro tip: make sure your phone is unlocked (not locked to a carrier) — that’s often required for an international travel eSIM to work properly.

My Final Thoughts

If you want to simply connect to the internet without having to worry about using “too much” data, or whether you’re able to share that reel on Instagram, then go for a Holafly eSIM for your Spanish adventures.
