Overview
- The Zafiro Rey Don Jaime in Santa Ponça saw a roughly 30‑square‑meter section of its dining room floor give way during dinner Thursday night around 9:30 p.m.
- Two guests suffered minor cuts and were taken by ambulance to a hospital for precautionary care.
- Firefighters, local police, and the Guardia Civil secured the area as more than 150 people were evacuated or left on their own.
- Authorities opened an inquiry, with technicians checking the load‑bearing structure and an initial theory that age and missing steel reinforcement led to the collapse.
- The hotel shut on Friday and began relocating about 520 guests to other properties, renewing focus on building safety after a deadly beach club collapse on the island in 2024.
