The viewing point was built extremely close to Es Morro den Moll – a cliff with a drop of more than 400ft.
Emergency rescuers from Algaida Local Police and Majorca Fire Department were called after they got trapped under the rubble.
Initially, authorities were able to safely rescue four people with non-severe injuries before rushing them to different hospitals.
Two more were then pulled out of the rubble.
Joan Fornàs, the island’s director of the Interior Department, went to the scene of the incident and supervised the work and coordination of the various emergency teams on site.
Nearby roads were shut down due to rescue work.
Authorities are now investigating the cause of the accident that took place on Sunday afternoon.
Just months ago, four people tragically died and 16 were injured after a beach club in Majorca collapsed.
Witnesses spoke of their terror as they watched the bar collapse into the street as if a “bomb” had exploded and grisly footage emerged showing the immediate aftermath.
People are filmed screaming, crying and fleeing, while a body lies lifeless on the pavement.
Just one day before the floor caved in, the popular night spot unveiled a new terrace bar.
Officials revealed that two female German tourists, aged 20 and 30, a Senegalese man, 44, and a fourth female victim, 23, were killed.
