He was staying in a room with friends at the hotel near to where he was found – called the Wave House.
Well-placed sources said Civil Guard officers woke up his pals to tell them the bad news because they were sleeping and knew nothing about the tragedy.
The incident is now being investigated to see if the man jumped or fell by accident.
A police source confirmed: ‘The dead man is a British 20-year-old. An investigation is underway.’
A spokesperson for the British Foreign Office said: ‘We are assisting the family of a British man who has died in Magaluf, and we are in contact with the local Authorities.’

The four-star hotel overlooks the beach and sea front promenade in Magaluf.
It is home to an outdoor surf simulator and pool with artificial waves.
The hotel boasts on its website of offering guests ‘an elegant stay packed with fun.’
