A British holidaymaker has died in Ibiza, following a fall from a 65ft cliff

A 24-year-old British holidaymaker has died after falling 65 feet from a cliff in Ibiza.

The tragedy happened in the upmarket destination of Cap Martinet near Ibiza Town.

The alarm was sounded around 8pm.

A spokesman for the Civil Guard confirmed: “We are investigating the death of a British holidaymaker aged 24 in an incident which occurred on Thursday at cliffs in the Cap Martinet area.

“The investigation is at an early stage and it will take more time to get a clearer picture of what exactly happened.”

The force spokesman added: ‘Firefighters, local police, Civil Guard and coastguards were mobilised after the alarm was raised.”

The same coastguards reportedly rescued two other men from the water who are said to have tried to rescue the British holidaymaker after he ended up in the sea.

They were described locally as staff at the five-star Destino Pacha Ibiza Hotel near to where the tourist is believed to have been staying.

A coastguard helicopter called the Helimer 221 participated in the operation.
