sun-worshipper

Loves the rays

A sun-worshipper is someone who loves basking in sunlight, especially for tanning: The beach was packed with sun-worshippers.

The term plays on religious worship—devotion taken to an extreme.

It can also refer literally to adherents of religions that venerate the sun as a deity.
