Bambous, Mauritius

This small town of 15,345 residents is no vacation paradise. The local government bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the lack of amenities can make daily life a grind. However, the town does host a sports stadium that has welcomed international competitions, so it may appeal to athletically-inclined expats. Overall, Bambous offers little to recommend it beyond the basics - it's a functional but unremarkable place to call home.
