sun worshipper

Loves the rays

A sun worshipper is someone who loves basking in sunlight, typically seeking maximum exposure while sunbathing: The beach was packed with sun worshippers.

The term plays on religious devotion—these aren't literally worshipping the sun, just devoted to tanning or warmth.

Less commonly, it refers to actual practitioners of solar religions, ancient or modern.
