Valinor is still in the bounds of Ea, otherwise the Elves (who are by their created nature bound to the world) would not be able to reach it. It has just bee "hidden" so that only authorised persons (generally Elves) can find the path to it - perhaps some sort of dimensional warp. It's as if (metaphorically speaking) the world is a house; Iluvatar added a new room to the house (the new lands and seas of the round Earth) which is accessable to everyone, then walled off another room in the house and fitted it with a hidden door - only the Elves can find the door, and enter this now-hidden part of the original house, while everyone else sees only a wall when they look that direction.
