A 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 alarm was raised on Tuesday night around 10.20pm.

The hotel where the incident happened has not yet been identified.

The unnamed British man, said to have fallen from a height of around ten feet in circumstances which are still being investigated, was taken to the Nuestra Señora del Rosario Hospital.

It is the same private clinic where another 33-year-old Brit is still  in intensive care after falling on rocks on Sunday as he jumped into the sea near San Antonio.

That accident happened at Cala Salada, a cove of gravel and sand in a closed bay surrounded by pine trees just over two miles from San Antonio.

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

He is said to have suffered a cervical spine fracture which in severe cases can cause paralysis from the chest down.

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