* ''Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium'' gives us the island of Aman. This is where the Valar live, but they also invite the Elves to join them when their time in the world is done, and in some exceptional cases they'll invite some others, like Frodo. Originally Aman was just far to the west of Middle-Earth, but they got sick of people trying to find it and now it can only be accessed by a "Straight Road" known only to the Elves.

* ''Comicbook/NewGods'': The titular {{Physical God}}s live on two vast planets (New Genesis and Apokalips) that may or may not be in another dimension. DependingOnTheWriter, if you travel there through means other than a Boom Tube, it may turn out that everyone there is a giant and the Boom Tube rescales people to fit. The New Gods themselves seem to worship, or at least revere, The Source, who DependingOnTheWriter may or may not live behind the Source Wall, which is made up of the petrified bodies of those who've tried to go past it and see for themselves.
* Creator/NeilGaiman's ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' features many gods, all of them with their own realms. The Norse gods of course have Asgard; the Lords of Chaos and the Lords of Order, who seem to have [[https://foxsuperpowerlist.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/embodiment-function-chaos-order-dc-sandman-3-vertigo.jpg?w=760 their own realms that match their respective temperaments]]; and the Christian God ([[TheGhost never seen on-panel]] and referred to only as [[IHaveManyNames The Presence]]) resides in the Silver City along with his angels. As per the narration, "it cannot be visited."

* In ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' it's believed by the people to be the home of The Architect is Elysium, a "land of plenty" that exists above the World Tree at the center of Alrest. Reaching Elysium is the primary goal of both Rex and Pyra. [[spoiler: Turns out that while The Architect does technically live 'above' the World Tree, Elysium is actually an ancient artificial satellite in the planet's orbit, and a rather barren one at that.]]

* ''Film/TheTenCommandments'': Zipporah describes Mt. Sinai as home to God, something Moses finds absurd because a "real" god should be omnipresent. Nonetheless, Zipporah assures him that God shows up there from time to time and she is, of course, proven correct.

* The Lokas in Hindu-Buddhist-Jain cosmologies. Loka means realm or planet and some are inhabited by Devas. In Hinduism some Gods have their own Loka. In Buddhism and Jainism there's the Realm of Devas where they lived ruled by Mahabrahma, with the difference that unlike Hinudism for Buddhists and Jains Devas are just another life form like humans and animals.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', Giruvegan serves as this for the Occuria. On first entering, it appears to be an empty domed city with the trees of the [[TheLostWoods Feywood]] visible outside. When Ashe meets with the Occuria, however, two suns are visible in the sky, making it ambiguous as to whether Giruvegan is actually within Ivalice or if the meeting area itself is someplace else entirely.

** In [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Volume 2]] & [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2007 Volume 3]], the Greek gods live in a cloudy extra-dimensional version of Olympus, save for Ares who has his own domain, Aeropagus, and the Chthonians who live in Hades.

* In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'', the Greek gods live in a cloudy extra-dimensional version of Olympus, save for Ares who has his own domain, Aeropagus.

* The major gods of ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' live in Dunmanifestin, their city at the top of Cori Celesti, a ridiculously tall mountain at the center of their (disc-shaped, duh) world. There they spend their time playing games with the lives of mortals. It appears in ''Discworld/TheLastHero'' as a vast structure of conflicting architectural styles, the gods coming from various different cultures, and also having zero taste.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', Ithaquack is the Vacation Spot of the Gods.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'': The Lookout, a heavenly palace that floats far above the Earth, from which Kami, Earth's God, watches over the planet.

* In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, Asgard is the home of several people who were worshipped by the Vikings as Gods.

* ''Anime:DragonBallZ'': the Kais of each galaxy each have their own BabyPlanet and the Supreme Kais live on their own enormous planet, both in Other World. Beerus, the [[DestroyerDeity God of Destruction]] has his own palace-like planet in the mortal universe.

* Australian Aboriginal myth has the "Dreamtime". It's a sort of PlaceBeforeTime that still exists as AnotherDimension (or something), where all mankind's ancestral spirits lived and still live.
