The vast continent of Aman in the far west of Arda was most often called the Undying Lands.
As this was the land of the undying Valar, Maiar and Eldar, the name appears to be appropriate enough.
It was primarily made up of two realms: Valinor, the home of the Valar and the Maiar with its capital of Valinor, and Eldamar, the home of the Vanyar, Noldor and Teleri Elves with their capitals of Tirion and Alqualondë.
After the changes of the world, the Undying Lands were taken to a place beyond mortal reckoning.
Thereafter, they could only be reached by sailing in the magical white ships of the Elves along the "Straight Road" that takes them out beyond the Spheres of the World.
