The Pearl Lounge
The Pearl Lounge near Gate 15 is the Bahrain lounge most travellers can reach: Priority Pass, DragonPass, SkyTeam, Star Alliance and oneworld status all work, and it is open 24 hours. It is also hosting Gulf Air premium passengers during the Falcon Gold works, so expect it to be busier.

Gulf Spa opposite Gate 15 is one of the Bahrain airport options you can book on LoungeDeal. A visit is redeemed for one treatment, such as a shower, gym session or massage, between 10:00 and 22:00, which suits a freshen-up more than a long sit-down.
Sleeping Pods - Gulf Spa
Sleeping Pods - Gulf Spa, opposite Gate 15, is open 24 hours and sells 1 hour 30 minute pod stays through DragonPass, Priority Pass or a LoungeDeal pass. Children under 16 are not admitted, so families should look at The Pearl instead.
