Oprah Documents Relaxing Spa Day With Her Besties During Italian Getaway
Joining the media personality were her BFFs, Gayle King and Ava DuVernay.
Oprah Winfrey took a trip to Italy with friends and crossed a highly-anticipated experience off her bucket list.
The 69-year-old talk show host and TV producer shared a few photos from her recent travels with fans on social media, explaining that it has been a longtime goal of hers to visit the Italian resort located on an ancient hilltop outside of Rome.
"Cheers to better health," the talk show legend on Instagram April 11. "That has been my goal ever since getting double knee surgery."
Oprah continued, "I went through a lot of pain to get to this side of a restorative and regenerative time with friends at @palazzofiuggi in Italy—we even drank a lot of Fiuggi water?? ?????♀????????♀???."
Also posing for a few of the photos was fellow TV personality Gayle King, her adult daughter Kirby Bumpus, filmmaker Ava DuVernay, and their pal Urania.

In the trio of images, the pals can be seen partaking in a variety of unique spa treatments and experiences aimed at encouraging full mind and body relaxation.
The first featured the group of friends cheering in their fluffy white resort robes before the second snap showed them relaxing in an oversized jacuzzi tub. The last slide had them high-fiving while floating in what appeared to be a mud treatment.
Shortly after sharing the pictures, Instagram users from all over the world flooded Oprah's comments, some begging the star to befriend them while others poked fun at the differences between her and King's preferred vacation styles.
"I want to be Oprah’s friend too ??," read one top comment.
"Hey Oprah… Can I be one of your mates? I can give y’all some African stories and I promise to make you laugh.??," another quipped.
"See how Oprah like to vacay. She don’t do rain and mud," one joked, recalling Oprah and King's previous vacation to Jordan.
"I need @oprah and @gayleking in the next season of White Lotus!!!" demanded Oprah Daily columnist Joseph Zambrano.
Actress Ariana DeBose exclaimed, "This place is the actual best!"
While Oprah didn't elaborate much on her spa experiences, she did tell her magazine, "I’ve been to many spas over the years—I’ve relaxed and retreated, deep-tissued and shiatsu’d, woken up with the birds for yoga and cardio, starved, meditated, cleansed. But never have I ever experienced anything like this."
While it's unclear how long she plans to remain overseas, she has kept fans up-to-date on her travels, sharing a few shots from the Vatican City.
"Happy Easter from Vatican City ????," she simply captioned the April 8 post, featuring a solo pic of the star and a group shot with King and Bumpus–to which supermodel Tyra Banks joked, "Y’all looking like cousins!"
