sun deck

Outdoor lounging area

A sun deck is an open outdoor area designed for sunbathing, typically on a ship's upper level or attached to a house.

On cruise ships and ocean liners, the sun deck is usually the topmost deck with lounge chairs: We spent the afternoon on the sun deck.

In residential settings, it's an elevated wooden platform or balcony positioned to catch maximum sunlight.
