Police sources earlier said they were hunting for a number of tourists who “did nothing” even as they saw the assault on the 18-year-old.
It comes as the victim is reported to have flown back to the UK after her ordeal.
And detectives have since confirmed it is two people in particular they are searching for, who also were aware of the video recordings of the victim.
It is alleged the six suspects filmed the attack on their mobile phones.
“The investigation is ongoing. We have been talking to our people from Guardia Civil in Mallorca,” cops told The Sun Online.
“We are searching for two more individuals that could have allegedly been involved in witnessing the rape and recording videos of the attack doing nothing to stop it.”
Six men, five from France and one from Switzerland, have been remanded in custody after the woman, 18, claimed she was attacked in a hotel room.
The alleged victim is understood to have since returned to Britain with a female friend she had travelled to the party resort with after receiving help from consular officials.
All six suspects remain in prison after being remanded in custody without bail on Tuesday by an investigating judge heading the ongoing criminal probe.
Sources close to the case said they weren’t ruling out further arrests over the sex attack.
Spanish cops have already confirmed they found footage on the suspects’ phones of the alleged attack.
The clips have been handed over to an investigating judge and could form a “key part” of the case.
More than 20 videos were allegedly found on the devices, Ultima Hora reports.
But the six men being held are understood to be alleging they had consensual sex with the teen.
Police sources revealed that the alleged victim met the young French and Swiss tourists at a party and returned to their hotel with them on Monday night.
But after going into one of their rooms she was allegedly sexually assaulted by the six holidaymakers.
She managed to escape and is said to have run to the lobby to look for help.
A security guard then found her sobbing in the hotel lobby and phoned cops.
He told The Sun: “I came in for the morning shift and found her downstairs, she was so upset.
“It was awful.”
The alleged victim gave officers a description of the suspects – all in their twenties – and they were quickly tracked down and arrested.
BH Mallorca Resort, the hotel where the men were staying, says it is cooperating fully with investigators and offered its support to the woman assisted by police.
A spokesman said in a statement: “The BH Mallorca Resort deeply regrets what has happened and would like to manifest its firm and forceful repudiation of the alleged sexual attack that occurred.
“The hotel also wants to demonstrate its solidarity with the alleged victim of this aggression.
“We are co-operating fully with the Civil Guard and its investigators in everything they consider to be necessary.
“This hotel ratifies through this statement its commitment to the condemnation of all types of sexual attacks that affect peoples’ dignity and physical integrity.
“Behaviour that undermines those rights has no place in this establishment.”
A Civil Guard spokesman added: “I can confirm we are investigating an alleged gang-rape at a hotel in Magaluf.
“The investigation is ongoing and involves a team of officers specialising in probing alleged sex crimes in Magaluf.”
