It is Barcelona's 11th league crown overall and caps another dominant season in which they have won 25 of their 26 top-flight matches, their only slip-up coming in a defeat by Real Sociedad in November.
Real Madrid have a game in hand but trail by 16 points in second place.
Barcelona are chasing a treble and will face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Women's Champions League. They are also through to the final of the Copa de la Reina, where they will meet Atletico Madrid on May 16.
