An Irish tourist who went missing in Ibiza after leaving his hotel in Platja d’en Bossa has been located, bringing an end to the search launched after he failed to return home as planned.

Matthew, 37, was found by local residents in Ibiza on the night of Tuesday, September 15, after his whereabouts had been unknown for several days.

Tourist Had Left Hotel Without His Phone or Money

Matthew had been staying at the Fergus Club Bahamas in Platja d’en Bossa.

According to information shared by people close to him, he was last seen on Sunday, September 13. He left his hotel on the morning of Monday, September 14, but did not board the return flight he had been due to take later that day.

Concern was heightened because he had reportedly left without his mobile phone and without money.

Search Was Shared on Social Media

Following the missed flight and the lack of contact, people close to Matthew began sharing an appeal for information through social media and local community groups.

The search was circulated among Ibiza-based online communities as people attempted to establish whether he had been in contact with local authorities or had attended any medical facilities.

His disappearance also prompted discussion about contacting the Guardia Civil and checking hospitals on the island.

Located in Ibiza on Tuesday Night

The search ended on Tuesday evening, September 15, when Matthew was located by residents in the area of Calle Sindicalista Margalida Roig 'Llogat'.

He was identified after being found in the area.

The available information confirms that he has been located, but does not provide further verified details about his condition or the circumstances that led to him being there.

No Further Details Have Been Confirmed

At this stage, there is no verified information indicating that Matthew was the victim of a crime or that he had suffered an accident.

The circumstances surrounding the period between leaving his hotel and being located have not been publicly established.

For that reason, speculation about what happened during that time should be avoided.

Search Comes to an End

The case highlights how quickly missing-person alerts can spread through Ibiza's international community, particularly when visitors are travelling without their phones or fail to board scheduled return flights.

Matthew's location means the immediate search effort has now concluded.

Further details about his movements or the reason he did not return to his hotel or board his scheduled flight have not been confirmed publicly.
