The Brit fell about 60 feet from a lookout point in the Palma neighbourhood of El Jonquet overlooking the sea.
Local police and paramedics who responded to an emergency call stabilised her at the scene before rushing her to hospital Palma’s Son Espases Hospital.
The alarm was raised at around 8.30am on Monday morning.
The unnamed Brit was rushed via a “Green Alert” to hospital the intensive care unit as police launched their investigation.
Hospital sources said today that she died later on the night she was admitted to hospital.
Insiders close to the ongoing probe confirmed they were not looking for anyone else in connection with what happened – and the death was not being treated as suspicious.
Detectives visited the scene and have spoken with witnesses who saw the horrifying tumble to understand what happened.
It was not immediately clear whether the woman was on holiday in Majorca or lived locally.
The spot where the tragedy happened, Mirador es Jonquet in Spanish, is described in travel reviews as a captivating scenic spot that offers visitors stunning vistas and a tranquil atmosphere.
One says: “This outlook provides a panoramic view of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, framed by lush greenery and the rugged cliffs that define the coastline.
“Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or on a romantic getaway, this scenic spot promises a memorable experience filled with the enchanting charm of Majorca.”
The raised cliff is a popular walking spot among tourists and locals alike.
Majorca is incredibly popular amongst Brits as a holiday destination, but accidents are distressingly frequent.
A British tourist died in front of his girlfriend after a 15ft fall at a hotel on the island last August.

The 28-year-old fell over a wall by the hotel entrance and landed on the ground next to the hotel’s spa pool after a night out partying.
The alarm was raised around 7am on a Saturday morning at the four-star Reverence Mare Hotel in Palmanova near Magaluf.
His partner had to be treated for an anxiety attack later in the day.
And another Brit was found dead in Majorca last October.
The man, in his 60s or 70s, was discovered in just his shorts after and a mask after going diving off the coast.
His body was pulled out of the sea near to the holiday resort of Magaluf, and cops launched an investigation into his death.
A Civil Protection boat discovered the grim find before recovering his body and taking it to Santa Ponsa Yacht Club on Tuesday.
