The Hotel Sezz***** Saint-Tropez, a 5-star establishment for over 15 years, is committed to ensuring the peace of mind and trust of its guests. Since the beginning of summer, several security incidents have occurred in Saint Tropez, seriously disrupting the pleasant life in Saint Tropez. The establishment would like to inform its guests and partners of the measures immediately implemented within the hotel.

Background to events

Every summer, Saint-Tropez’s international reputation attracts a prestigious clientele, but also the attention of organized networks targeting high-end locations, city centers, luxury villas and hotels. The Sezz***** reacts with immediate action.  

Immediate reaction and actions

Significant security measures have been put in place to guarantee the peace and quiet of guests in addition to the current system (strengthened access control to the hotel, increased presence of security personnel, verification and updating of surveillance systems).  

The hotel is also working in close coordination with the authorities.

Guests have been fully informed of these measures, which aim to strengthen protection while maintaining a climate of trust and serenity. Finally, starting next season,  access to the establishment will be strictly reserved for guests with a reservation, with each visitor requiring validation by Sezz staff at the entrance.

Traveling can heal you: It’s always an adventure to imagine being treated in a country other than your own, finding the right person, the right professionals, and above all putting aside your fears and preconceptions.

Heading to Istanbul, we land at Europe’s largest airport, and already we feel a sense of modernity, cleanliness, and friendliness.

We are welcomed by Jabbar, a member of the Dentakay Marketing & Communication team , and transported in a high-end car with VIP service where the goal is to make us feel as good as possible, like  Dentakay patients . For 3 days we will be accommodated in high-end hotels between Istanbul and Antalya, 2 of the different locations where the luxurious Dentakay
clinics are located.

A journey that will combine visits to three clinics with the tourist discoveries of a modern and traditional country – 
Turkey , Istanbul , between Europe and Asia, between the past and the future, separated by the Bosphorus Strait … An invitation to dream. Then a stopover in Antalya, a famous seaside city for its tourism and its ancient arenas.

Dentakay ‘s marketing and communications team, led by Barış and his colleagues Meryem and Jabbar, have done everything they can to ensure this immersion is as accurate and representative as possible of their magnificent country and what  Dentakay has to offer. We thank them in advance!

Istanbul emanates a kind of positive energy that shows a country in real evolution, a megalopolis (26 times the surface area of ​​Paris) with historic districts where the distant call to prayer from the majestic mosques lulls us into a romantic elsewhere, and others where buildings rise up whose ground floors house malls with luxury boutiques and very elegant restaurants.

The cluster of minarets erected in spires are like hands reaching toward the sky. A trip to Turkey means enjoying visits to magnificent sites, but also discovering refined and rich cuisine; it’s a true invitation to travel…

Onur & Gülay Akay – © Dentakay

After a restful night at the Mövenpick Istanbul Marmara Sea Hotel  , we were accompanied by Meryem who took us to the first clinic in Istanbul, mainly reserved for French patients.

We talk with patients who experienced this as a rebirth, a sort of “on/off” in their lives. They came for a week and praised the merits of Dentakay, for the professionalism and support, the care and precise translation, the services throughout the stay and the tourist aspect because everything is done to make anxieties disappear.

Reinventing the patient experience with a trusted environment

In recent years, we have observed a new trend: healthcare establishments are now adopting warmer codes, combining noble materials, soft colors and soothing design. The objective? To offer a reassuring, almost hotel-like experience, where the emotional is as cared for as the medical. The care is intended to be comprehensive, aiming to reduce anxiety and strengthen 
the human connection from the moment of arrival . In addition, there are high-end additional services: concierge, multilingual support, lounge areas, quality drinks… A new vision of care, more human, more comfortable...

At the crossroads of medical excellence and aesthetics, Dentakay boasts a unique positioning, between expertise and elegance.

Onur et Gülay Akay – © Dentakay

We had the pleasure of talking with the founders of Dentakay – Being a couple in entrepreneurship is a strength, Onur and Gülay Akay each have their specificities but are totally complementary, in the expansion of the company, the precise recruitment with profiles of gifted, expert dental surgeon doctors, with more than 5 years of experience and a great artistic sense. I voluntarily call them “ Dent-Artist ”. We followed the dental check-up like the other patients with 3D radio scan, smile photographs, examinations with 4 doctors including Dr. Gülay Akay , among the 60 dental specialists.

We observed extremely detailed and precise analyses of our two cases, with advice, solutions, care, etc. And a constant concern for anticipation to block future oral and dental problems; initially orthodontics, bruxism, then aesthetics.

Health is the priority, even if the result is magnificent and identical to their advertisements. The photos are not retouched for a magical effect; this magic and talent are very real, as we saw with patients Laurence & Christophe, who came from France and were absolutely delighted with this experience.

Everything is “tailor-made”, each action is explained and validated by the patient, the care, the price and the payment facilities offered, the wishes, the psychological impact, the traceability of the implants (Swiss made) with bar code, Qr code, references… 

They are extremely specialized in implantology and its monitoring with techniques specific to  Dentakay including “zygomatic implants” .

Photos : © Alexandre Joulia – AMILCAR MAGAZINE.

Their strength is both a constant synergy between several doctors and the management of prostheses from their own laboratories with a networked computer system between all clinics. In addition, architecturally, all clinics have the same layout so that each doctor can work on each site without losing their bearings ( Ex: all surgical instruments are placed in the same drawers ). You enter a high-tech site, with international awards in the field of dental innovation, 3D manufacturing workshops, smile designers before manufacturing and a “hand” finish .

“At Dentakay, we are redefining excellence in dental care by combining cutting-edge technology with a patient-centric approach. Our commitment to innovation ensures that every treatment is performed with precision, efficiency, and optimal comfort. By integrating advanced techniques with personalized care, we offer a seamless experience that puts your well-being and satisfaction at the heart of everything. From routine checkups to complex procedures, our team of experts is committed to achieving remarkable results in a warm and professional environment. At Dentakay, your smile is our top priority.” 
Dr. Gülay Akay .

Continuation of the report towards Antalya

Turkey is now a prime destination for dental tourism, offering quality care at very competitive rates. Dentakay, voted Europe’s Best Clinic in 2022, offers comprehensive packages including airport transfers, accommodation, and VIP services to ensure a seamless and comfortable experience for international patients.

Our journey continues with a visit to the Antalya clinic, which demonstrates a true architectural commitment to providing a high-end, designer, and welcoming experience, where patient comfort is as important as the quality of care.

Spaces blending noble materials, soft colors, and soothing design. At the intersection of medical and lifestyle, a new era of dentistry is underway. A pioneer of this movement, the Dentakay network of international clinics has been offering a completely redesigned treatment experience for over 16 years.

The care is comprehensive, aiming to reduce anxiety and strengthen the human connection from the moment you arrive. In addition, high-end additional services are offered:

Concierge services, multilingual support, lounge areas, quality drinks… A new vision of care, more human, more comfortable. And accommodations in beautiful hotels like the Limak Lara De Luxe Hotel & Resort.

We were impressed by the professionalism and quality of each of our contacts, as well as the technology and humanity of the care provided.

These clinics are models for the medical world, with prices that allow patients to access major surgeries and cosmetic transformations without forcing them into their decisions.

Thanks to the communications and marketing team, we have traveled through a rich culture, a very welcoming people and a cutting-edge medical world… This mix of tourism and science is successful. It is always difficult to trust in this field and here we recommend Dentakay, hoping to see other clinics in France and Europe open to all.
