This is the same hotel where a Scottish tourist died just over a fortnight ago.
The lad fell just after midnight, and two ambulances rushed to the scene.
Tragically, there was nothing they could do to save him.
Local police confirmed this morning he was a British national - but gave no further details on his identity.
In a separate incident, Evan Thomson, 26, fell to his death at the same hotel exactly two weeks ago.
It's understood he had been celebrating on holiday with pals following his birthday last month.
Tragically, he too was pronounced dead at the scene.
His mum Lel Kellighan broke the sad news on social media a few days later, saying: 'I'm absolutely heartbroken to write and tell you all, earlier this week my son Evan was in a tragic accident whilst on holiday with his friends in Ibiza and sadly passed away.
'We are all absolutely broken. Please allow us some time.'
In the days after Evan's death, his loved ones raised questions about safety at Ibiza Rocks, and was critical over the hotel's handling of the situation.
Evan's sister Teila said: 'Ibiza is known for its partying and it just stuns me that they don't have higher safety precautions.
'Pray nobody else suffers. And, once it did happen, the hotel's response was just completely heartbreaking; almost as if it never happened. I pray no other family has to go through this."
Friend Blair Robertson, 25, who had been with Evan before he died, claimed: 'Security took us away to front desk. Paramedics didn't arrive for about 30 minutes.
"Forensic officers didn't speak English. We were just standing there, not knowing what was going on. Reception gave us false hope."
And a THIRD young Brit died from a fall in San Antonio last Monday.
The 25-year-old died in hospital from injuries sustained when he fell from a supermarket car park in the town the previous day.
He was rushed to an intensive care unit at a private island hospital following the incident.
The clinic confirmed he died from his injuries, saying last Monday: 'Regrettably and despite all the efforts of medical personnel, the patient who fell yesterday in San Antonio has died due to the severity of his injuries."

Physio who accessed patient's personal data to visit her home is struck off
Josep Bofill Blanch, who was a registered physiotherapist employed by NHS Grampian in north-east Scotland, met the woman and gave her an injection when she attended his vaccination centre on May 7 2021. He then found and messaged her on Facebook to ask if her arm was sore, before visiting her rural address the following day with a bottle of Kombucha tea as a gift when there was 'no clinical justification' for him to do so, according to a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) tribunal panel. Computer logs showed Mr Blanch had used a national vaccination database system to view the woman's record, which included her address, on three separate occasions after she had received her injection and left the centre. The panel found Mr Blanch's behaviour had breached professional boundaries and amounted to conduct done in the pursuit of a future sexual relationship. The physiotherapist had started working as a vaccinator on Fridays in the Macduff Vaccination Centre in Aberdeenshire from February 2021. Mr Blanch said he found the woman on Facebook after administering her injection as he knew her first and last name and used her social media photograph to identify her. When interviewed about the Facebook message she received from Mr Blanch, the woman said: 'I thought it was strange and ignored it. You can find anyone online, but I thought it was inappropriate.' The woman did not respond to his message. Describing his appearance at her home on May 8 2021, she said: 'I live very rural and isolated. In amongst barns. I did not see anyone there. 'I parked up after taking the dog to the vet. I never heard him approach but he appeared when I took the dog out the car. 'It was distressing for the children … it was quite a shock.' Interviewed about the incident, Mr Blanch said he felt the woman had been upset during her vaccination and he wanted to visit her to ask her how she was feeling, as it was the custom in his culture. He later provided an alternative explanation for the visit by saying that he wanted to make friends. A witness said Mr Blanch had told her he knew the rough area where the woman lived from their conversations at the vaccination clinic, so he had drove there and asked a neighbour who pointed him in the right direction. The HCPC panel found Mr Blanch's explanation for knowing and finding the woman's address was 'implausible' and 'unbelievable', and said that if he was genuinely concerned about the woman it 'should have been escalated through appropriate channels at work'. 'In all the circumstances, the panel determined that the explanations provided by (Mr Blanch) at the local interview stage were inconsistent and his conduct in attending (the woman's) address with a gift was highly inappropriate,' the panel said. Mr Blanch was suspended by NHS Grampian on May 14 2021 and resigned on August 3 of that year, before an investigation was completed. He did not tell the HCPC about the suspension, with the healthcare body only being notified after receiving a referral from NHS Grampian almost five months later on October 13, and tried to seek other employment in the profession. The panel found Mr Blanch's conduct was dishonest 'by the standards of an ordinary decent person'. It concluded all the facts proved in the case fell far below the standards required in the profession and amounted to misconduct. Mr Blanch 'showed limited insight' into his own misconduct and provided no evidence of provided any meaningful reflection or steps taken to address the concerns, meaning there was a 'real risk' he could repeat his actions in the future, the panel said. His behaviour amounted to 'persistent and intensified unwanted attention' towards the woman that 'placed his needs in the pursuit of a future, sexual relationship above the wellbeing and privacy of a service user', it added. The panel made an order to strike Mr Blanch's name from the register after determining his fitness to practise was impaired. An NHS Grampian spokesperson said: 'We note the decision of the HCP tribunal service. This individual was suspended in May 2021 and left the organisation in August 2021.'

Police are cracking down on ‘boy racers' in Blackwood Asda
Growing concerns from residents and businesses regarding 'boy racers' has sparked a police crackdown on the area. Officers are now actively patrolling the area and have said 'action will be taken' when necessary, including seizure of vehicles. Commenting on the issue councillor Kevin Ethridge said: 'Complaints have been received from the residents and obviously we had a huge problem with boy racers before. It does seem they've gone to the Asda car park now. 'As a councillor I'm pleased the police have acted so quickly on the complaints because we don't want this spiralling into the high street. 'They've put resources into any anti-social behaviour which is occurring in the Asda car park, and I would hope that action is taken by the Asda store as well because we need to work in partnership.' Gwent Police said: 'We are aware of ongoing concerns from residents and local businesses regarding antisocial driving and car meet activity taking place in and around the Asda car park in Blackwood, particularly during evening hours. 'Dangerous and inconsiderate driving – including excessive revving, speeding, drifting, and unnecessary noise – is not only a nuisance, but it poses a real risk to public safety. 'Officers are actively patrolling the area and will take action where offences are identified. This includes issuing warnings, seizing vehicles under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act, and prosecuting dangerous driving offences.'

Kris Jones said, 'I always thought that some piece of land could be found by the local authority for youngsters etc who enjoy their vehicles and spend a lot of time, money and effort on them to hang out away from local housing estates and shopping facilities could be found.' Cris Davies wrote: 'Confiscate and crush.' Justin Merralls said: 'Try a different approach. Educate Don't intimidate.' Dai Hobbs posted: 'Leave them have somewhere to go, Blackwood used to be a big place for the car scene.' Gwent Police have said anyone with concerns regarding antisocial driving can contact them on 101.
