luxuriates

Basks in pleasure

Luxuriates means to take deep, indulgent pleasure in something—to bask or revel: She luxuriates in a hot bath after work, He luxuriates in the attention.

The word suggests surrendering fully to comfort or sensory enjoyment, often with a connotation of excess or self-indulgence.

Plants that luxuriate grow abundantly and lushly.
