One suffered severe blows to the face and head, needing several stitches, and doctors haven’t ruled out the possibility of internal injuries.
The other Brit was left with a severe wound above the eye and there is concern that he will lose some vision.
The arrest was made after Civil Guard officers interviewed witnesses, the Majorca Daily Bulletin reports.
Two of the security guard’s colleagues at the club have been formally identified, but not arrested, after being questioned by police.
Investigators are now examining CCTV footage to see if the incident was filmed.
The nightspot where the assault happened has not been named and police have yet to make any official comment.
Last July, two bouncers were arrested after beating up three people including a woman they had previously expelled from a popular Magaluf nightspot.
One of the doormen, accused of punching one of the assault victims and then leaving him unconscious after kicking him in the head while he lay on the ground, was remanded in custody after appearing before a judge.
The same bouncer, placed under investigation on a suspected attempted murder charge, was also accused of punching the injured man’s female friend when she tried to intervene.
Earlier this month, a British tourist was seriously injured in a fall at a Magaluf apartment block.
The unnamed man, 38, was rushed to hospital with “very serious” injuries including face and head wounds in the early hours of April 6.
It was initially reported he had plunged from the third-floor of an apartment block near Magaluf’s party strip after having been drinking,
However, it later emerged that he had sneaked into a complex and fallen 15ft as he walked along a wall with a sheer drop.
Also this month, an Italian man, 20, was arrested on suspicion of raping a British woman on a beach close to the infamous resort town.
