British tourist, 21, in critical condition after plunging 10ft from his Ibiza hotel

A young British tourist is in intensive care in hospital after a hotel fall in the Ibizan party resort of San Antonio.

The 21-year-old was stabilised at the scene before being taken to a private clinic on the island.

The incident happened on Tuesday night around 10.20pm, but the hotel where it happened has not yet been identified.

The unnamed British man was said to have fallen from a height of around ten feet in circumstances which are still being investigated.

He was taken to the Nuestra Señora del Rosario hospital, which is the same private clinic where another 33-year-old Brit is recovering following falling on rocks on Sunday as he jumped into the sea near San Antonio.

The 33-year-old fell at Cala Salada, a cove of gravel and sand in a closed bay surrounded by pine trees just over two miles from San Antonio, report Mirror Online.

The stretch of rocks the unnamed tourist is thought to have jumped from on Tuesday lies between Cala Salada and a neighbouring cove called Cala Saladeta.

However, sources at the Nuestra Señora del Rosario Hospital confirmed on Wednesday that they were treating a patient who had suffered a hotel fall in San Antonio but said they had no more information at this stage.

Falls like these are common and last month a Dutch tourist lost his life after hurling himself off a cliff in a tombstoning stunt in front of his partner and two children.

He was later named as former footballer Mourad Lambrabatte.

His widow filmed him jumping more than 70 feet to his death on an islet opposite the Majorcan holiday resort of Santa Ponsa near Magaluf.

The same day a 34-year-old British tourist plunged to his death from the seventh floor of the four-star Melia South Beach Hotel in Magaluf where he was staying.

Police sources confirmed at the time he was intoxicated and local reports said tests were taking place to see if he had taken drugs.

Shocked onlookers filmed him pacing up and down at speed on a narrow ledge on the outside of his balcony before falling to his death after appearing to try to clamber down onto the balcony below.
