His daughter, Kaci Fraya, is believed to have been on the Spanish holiday to Cala Agulla on the island's northeast coast with her dad at the time of his death.
In a touching post on Facebook, she wrote: "Love you forever dad."
The heartbroken woman in her mid 20s also shared a picture of the pair smiling along with a red love heart.
Clark is also believed to have been a father to a younger daughter.
Friends of Ben, from Hampshire, called him 'one of the good ones' and a 'great guy'.
Becky Paris said: 'Honestly I just spent the majority of the evening blabbering on about how 'it's the kind of thing you read about in the newspapers, but think well it wouldn't ever happen' as it wasn't real life.
'Today I am just absolutely heartbroken for you and your little family.
'No words that could make sense of it. You really were one of the good ones mate.'
Peter Fordham added: 'RIP Ben Clark. Devastating news and a sad loss.
'You will be massively missed. Condolences to all your friends and family.'
Glenn Quackenbush wrote on social media: 'Farewell to great guy Mr Ben Clark. It was an honour RIP.'
And good friend Chris Jon Osman simply said: "He was a great guy and a true legend."
Firefighters and mountain rescue teams recovered the Brit's body after an emergency call was put in, reports Ultima Hora.
Police sources are treating the incident as an accident.
A spokeswoman for the Civil Guard confirmed: 'We received an emergency alert just before 2am, saying a man had fallen from a height of around 16 feet in a rocky area in Cala Agulla near to Capdepera.
'The Civil Guard's specialist Greim mountain and cave rescue unit was mobilised.
'The man's body was recovered just after 5am."
It comes as last month a British woman died after plunging from a scenic beauty spot in Majorca.
The 39-year-old was rushed to hospital critically injured following the fall but failed to survive her injuries.
She fell around 60ft from a lookout point in the Palma neighbourhood of es Jonquet overlooking the sea.
