A routine investigation into the incident is now underway.
The beach where it happened was packed at the time and police used sun loungers to cover the man's body.
It was then removed following the arrival of court officials.
It comes after a 65-year-old man died at the same beach just after two years ago an hour after saving another bather who had got into difficulties.
Can Pere Antoni is a long sandy beach located around a mile east of the city centre.
It is popular with Palma’s residents who use it to relax after work.
On Sunday morning a 35-year-old British woman died after plunging from the sixth-floor of the four-star Hotel Palma Bellver just over a five-minute car ride away.
She is believed to have been staying at the hotel with a man sources described as her partner.
Sources close to the ongoing inquiry were saying ahead of a post-mortem on Monday her death wasn’t being treated as suspicious, although the autopsy results have not been made public.
