pleasure-seeker

Lives for enjoyment

A pleasure-seeker is someone who prioritizes enjoyment and gratification, often at the expense of more serious pursuits.

The term carries a mildly disapproving tone, suggesting self-indulgence or hedonism: The resort catered to pleasure-seekers from around the world.

A pleasure-seeker may chase sensory delights, entertainment, or leisure experiences, with the implication that such pursuits dominate their lifestyle rather than being occasional indulgences.
