Real Madrid's victory away to Deportivo La Coruna was not enough despites Cristiano Ronaldo's double as Barca sealed a comfortable victory to achieve a final points tally of 91 - one more than their fierce rivals -and claim a 24th top-flight crown.
Suarez tapped in Jordi Alba's low cross to give Luis Enrique's men the lead, becoming the first player other than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo to score 38 goals in a single Liga season since Hugo Sanchez in 1989-90.
Any tension within the Barca camp was
eased even further when Suarez headed in from close range just before the break, although they had Marc-Andre ter Stegen to thank for a strong save shortly after half-time which maintained their comfortable
advantage.
Granada, who secured their survival with a shock 4-1 win away to Sevilla last week, produced a far more committed performance in the second half but were lucky not to be reduced to 10 men when the officials failed to spot Miguel Lopes push his head into
Neymar's face.
Barca - not helped by an injury sustained by
Javier Mascherano - found themselves under increased pressure but showed their resilience to hold on to the advantage.
Suarez then netted a late third to end the league season with 40 goals, with the final whistle blown minutes later.
Luis Suarez wins the pichichi award as the highest goals scorer with 40 goals,and only Cristiano Ronaldo came close with 35 goals.
Real Madrid have to prepare ahead for next season because they left it too late to challenge this year even though it was due to Barcelona's little slip off towards the end of the season and the rest they say is history which Barcelona clearly made.
