sun-drenched
Soaked in light
Sun-drenched describes a place flooded with intense, abundant sunlight: sun-drenched beaches, a sun-drenched Mediterranean village.
The word evokes warmth, brightness, and often an idealized vacation quality.
It appears almost exclusively in travel writing and real estate listings.
