He was drinking with a group of other Brits when as they were heading back to their rented apartment he fell off a wall trying to climb up to a balcony.
Local media reports he lost his footing while trying to climb up onto the terrace.
He tried to grab the edge, missed and then fell onto the ground “face first”.
A witness said: “He wasn’t moving and he was breathing very hard, so I poured some water on him and several times pressed on the chest.
“He was moaning in severe pain.
“I turned him on his side, the left side of his face and chin were bloody from the cut, and the right side of his hand was swollen.”
The island’s ER rushed to the scene but they deemed the 30-year-old needed intubation so he was airlifted to the regional hospital in the Adriatic port of Split.
Cops said the Brit fell approximately ten feet and is now fighting for his life in intensive care.
He remains in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with serious head injuries.
Earlier this month another holidaymaker plunged six floors from a Benidorm hotel balcony as cops arrested her husband for alleged attempted murder.
The 36-year-old woman was said to be in critical condition at a hospital in Spain.
The island of Hvar is a popular destination among British celebrities.
Prince Harry’s wild parties were widely reported at Hvar Island in the past being seen plunging into a swimming pool fully clothed in 2011.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Bernie Ecclestone and many more celebrities were spotted here.
The island was once dubbed the “new Magaluf” with hundreds of tourists flocking to enjoy the sun, 13th-century history and trendy restaurants.
The island is also popular amongst tourists with less star power thanks to being famed for wild parties and cheap booze.
