The abode of Sri Devi is known as Mani Dvipa. Wikipedia states:




In the Devi Bhagavatam, Manidweepa portrayed as the Sarvaloka
superior to Kailasa, Vaikunta and Goloka. Devi
Bhuvaneshvari/Tripurasundari is the Empress of Manidvipa. At the
beginning of the creation, Devi Adi Parashakti-Mahakali created this
island.




Quoting from the book "Essence of Devi Bhagavatam":




Being far superior to Kailasa, Vaikuntha and Goloka, the Sarvaloka or Mani Dvipa is the residence of Devi Bhagavati in whom the entire
Creation rests! Indeed She resides everywhere and anywhere but
notionally at Mani Dvipa
and the description is transcripted in
detail by Maharshi Veda Vyasa apparenly for the consumption of mortals
to carry conviction into their consciousness. Surrounded by ‘Sudha
Sagara’ ( The Ocean of Nectar), Manidvipa has a strong iron enclosure
of several Yojanas far and wide with four gates well guarded by Devas
and Devis. Within the First Enclosure, there is an Enlosure of white
metal made of an amalgam of zinc and tin/copper which touches Heavens
and is hundred times higher than the walls of the outer Enclosure.This
Enclosure is interspersed with gardens and forests with a wide range
of trees and plants, flowers with intoxicating fragrances, luscious
fruits along with streams of fruit juices and gregarious animals and
birds of staggering variety. The third Enclosure is made of copper
with a height of seven yojanas comprising several ‘Kalpavrikshas’,
with golden leaves/ flowers and fruits yielding gems, fulfilling
desires of any imagination.The King of the Gardens along with the
wives Madhu Sri and Madhava Sri maintains an excellent Spring Season,
where Gandharvas reside, rendering divinely songs and music. The
Fourth Enclosure made of lead with its wall height is again seven
yojanas and within the Enclosure are the Sanatanaka trees with flowers
whose fragrance reaches as far as ten yojanas and fresh fruits
providing sweet juices of great quality and its King with the two
queens Sukra Sri and Sudha Sri always maintains enjoyble mild summer
where Siddhas and Devas reside here




In this loka Lord Shiva (who is inseparable from Devi) also resides as Ardhanriswara.
