You could call it captivating. Merriam-Webster defines captivate as «to attract and hold the attention of (someone) by being interesting, pretty, etc.»

If you need a word, this adjective is archaic and it is:

eyesome — (archaic, often poetic) visually attractive. (MW)

There are also less-archaic terms:

sightly — Pleasing to see; visually appealing. (TFD)

eye candy — A person who is or people considered highly attractive to look at. (TFD)

Examples:

It is pleasant to look at. (sightly)

He is pleasant to look at. (eye candy)

«Handsome» has exactly the meaning you require:

adjective

  1. having an attractive, well-proportioned, and imposing appearance suggestive of health and strength; good-looking:
    «a handsome man; a handsome woman.»

  2. having pleasing proportions, relationships, or arrangements, as of shapes, forms, or colors; attractive:

… but seems to be quite an old-fashioned word these days. It might be useful to you depending on the context.

One of these might do:

fetching — pleasant or attractive.

attractive — pleasing or appealing.

… but neither quite carries the strong connotation of irresistibility (not wanting it out of sight) that was requested.

Mesmerize
: to hold the attention of (someone) entirely : to interest or amaze
(someone) so much that nothing else is seen or noticed

transitive verb
1 : to subject to mesmerism; also :
hypnotize
2 : spellbind

[ Merriam-Webster online ]

Therefore, mesmerizing, spellbinding, and maybe, at the risk of falling asleep, hypnotic; more so about the impact of what is «delightful for beauty, harmony, or grace» upon the eye of the beholder so to speak.

The phrase «aesthetically pleasing», though not a single word, denotes an object that is pleasant to look at in a generic visual sense without all the connotations of physical attractiveness, comeliness, etc. that some of the other suggestions carry.

That said, I do think there is a slight connotation of «artistic beauty» in the phrase.

Wholesome, Lush, perhaps salubrious?
Though the last is used mainly for a product, it could be said being with someone is healthful or health-giving whether it is for companionship or just eye-candy on the arm, thus the connection would be salubrious.
And modern lingo may lead to such quaint items as bitchin’ or (as a feminine descriptor) leslie.

Another one is «Eyeful,» which means someone/something that is visually stunning. However, it is a noun and is considered informal (according to the New Oxford American Dictionary).

Usage: The vase was quite an eyeful.

1 For many people, German-born supermodel Claudia Schiffer is the perfect beauty: tall and slim, blue-eyed, tanned and athletic looking with long, blond hair. No wonder people have described her as ‘The most beautiful woman in the world’.

2 But people have not always had the same ideas about beauty. Until the 1920s, suntans were for poor people, ‘ladies’ stayed out of the sun to keep their faces as pale as possible. Five hundred

years ago, in the times of Queen Elizabeth I of England, fashionable ladies even painted their faces with lead to make them whiter — a very dangerous habit as lead is poisonous!

3 And people in the eighteenth century would certainly not have thought much of Claudia Schiffer’s hair! Ladies in those days never went out without their wigs, which were so enormous — and so dirty — that it was quite common to find mice living in them!As for the ‘perfect beauties’ painted by Rubens in the seventeenth century, if they wanted to be supermodels today they would have to spend months on a diet!

4Ideas of beauty can be very different according to where you live, too. For the Paduang tribe in South-East Asia, traditionally the most important sign of beauty was a long neck. So at the

age of five or six, girls received their first neck ring, and each year they added new rings. By the time they were old enough to marry, their necks were about twenty-five centimeters long!
5 And what about the ideal man? If you ask women today to name an attractive man, most mention someone like Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson or Denzel Washington: someone tall and strong, brave and ‘manly’.
6 In the eighteenth century, however, ‘manliness’ was very different from what it is today. As well as wearing wigs, perfume and lots of make-up, a true gentleman showed his feelings by

crying frequently in public. According to one story, when the British Prime Minister, Lord Spencer Percival, came to give King George IV some bad news, both men sat down and cried!

7And even now, Russell Crowe might not find it so easy to attract women if he visited the Dinka tribe of Sudan. They have always believed in the saying that ‘big is beautiful’.

Traditionally, each year, men compete to win the title of ‘the fattest man’. The winner is sure to find a wife quickly: for a Dinka woman, if a man is fat, it is also a sign that he is rich and powerful!
