Campillo, 36, secured a third title on the tour, and his first since 2020, as he sank six birdies in his final round for a tournament total of 18 under par, two ahead of runner-up Masahiro Kawamura, from Japan, who also carded a 66.
Campillo had begun his third round five shots off the lead but produced a superb 63 on Saturday which contained eight birdies, giving him a one-shot overnight lead going into the final round.
He cemented his position at the top of the leaderboard with four birdies on the front nine and held off the challenge of Japan's Kawamura, with Spain's Santiago Tarrio (66) and Japan's Ryo Hisatsune (65) sharing third place at 15 under par.
"I was just trying to be focused all the way," Campillo said. "I am very proud to win but also to have my name on the same trophy as Seve Ballesteros is very special to me."
