Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'sun' modifies 'lounge', so a learner can infer it is a lounge/room associated with sunlight and for relaxing. This follows a common noun–noun compounding pattern (cf. 'sunroom') and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner knowing both words would readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Sun lounge comes from the simple image of a lounge, a room to 'relax', that is made with big windows so the sun can come in. That's why it means 'a room with large windows or glass walls where people can relax in sunlight'.
